Django Jail Hack

Details
In cahoots with FreeGeek Chicago (http://freegeekchicago.org/)
A workshop focusing on fundamental data journalism and web development skills using the Supreme Chi-Town Coding Crew (https://github.com/sc3/sc3)'s Cook County Jail API (https://github.com/sc3/cookcountyjail)—a Django-based web API that provides data about inmates in Cook County Jail by scraping for the Sheriff's Inmate Locator.
All skill levels welcome
Mini-projects include:
• drawing the jail's floorplan
• analysing data
• improving the scraper
• project architecture & documentation
• front end data viz and user experience
• mining the data for leads.
