Jingle all the way! Making music from data with TwoTone.io
Details
Yes, we know what day it is but we're not going to let a general election spoil the fun. Join us for cake, mince pies and more as we try to make music from public datasets.
Bring a laptop and headphones along as we'll be following a video tutorial and creating our own soundtracks. TwoTone.io is a tool created by DataVized Technologies with support from the Google News Initiative. It can be used alone or with visualisations to add a new audible dimension to telling stories with data.
This a practical, hands-on workshop. No programming experience is required and you don't need anything installed on your computer.
Make sure you're signed up to Dropbox to view our shared doc (http://bit.ly/journocoders-dec-2019) and add links to the show and tell section! These can be stories, analysis, announcements -- anything you think others might be interested in.

What is Journocoders?
Journocoders is a monthly meetup for journalists and others working in the media to learn and share technical skills for use in their reporting. We aim to bring the culture of knowledge sharing from the tech industry to journalism and give people the chance to learn and network in a supportive environment with likeminded individuals.
