So what are we doing today


How did I end up here


'Weird sh*t in the corner' might not be the best way to frame your work.


Shoulds, Coulds and Woulds


Who is my audience at the University of Manitoba?


The Scheme


  1. Rethink my sessions and pilot physicalization with a data foundations session
  2. Do not incorporate software training
  3. Use materials I already have

Planning

+


Old session


New session: bit.ly/uml_map


Differences


  1. Hands-on samples
  2. Even plainer language
  3. Addition of data phyicalization concepts
  4. Hands-on is a craft instead of AGOL intro

Assessment


Data Physicalization


Critical Making


Visual Encoding


Data Lifecycle


The Future


  1. Research Leave
  2. Faculty requests
  3. Grant application
  4. Sustainibility

Is it right for you?


  • Do you actually like making stuff?
  • What's the culture at your institution?
  • Do you have resources (time, money, space...)
