One of the ongoing challenges in applying such statistical models is how to visualise the multiverse of possible outcomes that the algorithm derives. Your goal is to create an evidence-based visualisation of possible climate futures that allows users to interrogate and compare projections from a complete simplified carb..."

But coverage tends to focus on popular tourist destinations and sponsored business opportunities, rather the presenting real people’s lives and neighbourhoods. Your task is to prototype an infrastructure of an interactive globe, where you can fluidly zoom in to connect to people's "best self", using the verified images th..."

Most of this excludes real knowledge of real places, from the girls excluded from education in Afghanistan, to the women who teach their own families all over the world. Your goal is to make an alternative wiki architecture, where the benchmark of knowledge is not who has the most..."

One very useful source of evidence is acoustic data recordings. This project is intended to create an interactive application that can be used by land managers to visualise, make decisions, monitor, and evaluate their interventions, based on bioacoustic survey data processed through th..." current

That’s no use for people with a vision impairment, who can’t see the guidance or easily operate animated graphical interfaces. This is an opportunity to work with a team who have recently augmented the classic mecha..." current
