inspired by the recent Houston Hackathon, we'll work in small teams to visualize a famous dataset like the iris dataset or the tree cover type dataset. we'll announce the actual dataset at the beginning of the event.

this jam is tool agnostic. the goal is to learn together while producing many visualizations on a common dataset. this common dataset will enable us to quickly compare design choices and learn from each other. bonus points for the enterprising souls who make something you can view and share on the web.
