Visualization Contest: The State of Education in Colorado

Visualization Contest: The State of Education in Colorado | Emergent Digital Practices | Scoop.it
Yesterday, we announced the launch of an infographic competition with the Guardian Datablog and UNESCO's GMR. Today we're launching another contest with Colorado Succeeds.

Colorado Succeeds is a nonprofit organization founded on the premise that the business community has the obligation, opportunity and capacity to increase the college and workforce readiness of all students.

Both of these contests center around education, and make the case that it is in everyone’s best interest to improve education of young people.

Kenyan Filmmaker using 'Pirates' As His Distributors

Kenyan Filmmaker using 'Pirates' As His Distributors | Emergent Digital Practices | Scoop.it

Patrick Mureithi, a Kenyan filmmaker, is hoping to show his documentary on post-election violence and rebuilding in his home country, and is raising travel funds via Indiegogo. Most of this $5,000 will go directly to travel expenses, as Mureithi is counting on some of his countrymen to handle the rest.


"I need to raise at least $5,000 for airfare, meals and transportation. Airfare is $2,000, transportation and meals another $2,000, and $1,000 is for miscellaneous expenses. My hope is to show the film on national television, and also to distribute it at minimum cost via the DVD piracy industry. Anything extra that I raise will go towards venue and equipment rental so that I can host public awareness forums"
