Gephi uses data points called nodes connected by lines (edges) that represent the links and networks between them. Many examples online show analysis of website pathways, social […]

For my project, I created a 3D model of the Northfield Depot using photogrammetry. Here is a link!
Squirrels and Food Vendors
Using ArcGIS was a really interesting process. I have not used GIS or other mapping tools before, and it was interesting to explore all the data already available through the Living Atlas Layers. My map consists of the squirrel data (numbers of squirrels by fur color) and food vendor data (number of food vendors by […]

I believe that learning to code can be a useful tool to understanding programming and how that relates to the digital humanities. What I […]

Creating a Project in SketchUp

It was fun and intuitive, something that makes for a positive experience for a person with very little 3D modeling experience. The exception was that I had trouble with a few specific tools. The first trouble I ran into was […]
