Hi! We're a team of master’s students studying Human-Computer Interaction looking to tell human stories with data.
This project is an 8 month long capstone at Carnegie Mellon University in partnership with the Death Penalty Information Center.
Our objective
To research and develop innovative methods for data storytelling and education regarding capital punishment in America.
The goal
Through this project, we aim to foster deeper engagement and understanding of the complexities and inequities surrounding the death penalty, ultimately encouraging more meaningful participation and discourse.
