This interactive journal article describes and visualizes how well MCubed, a University of Michigan seed funding program, achieves its goal of creating interdisciplinary connections across the University. This piece was created as a final project for ARTDES 270 "Visualizing and Depicting Ideas," a course provided through the Stamps School of Art & Design which I cross-registered for while studying at the University of Michigan School of Information. Data was scraped from the MCubed site and transformed using Python. The journal article is coded using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the visualizations created using D3.js.
