	Hello, I'm Brandon Roberts, an independent computational journalist who has worked with ProPublica, the Associated Press and various investigative newsrooms in the US and internationally. I didn't start at large news organizations, though. I got my start running my own investigative newspaper and made a lot of avoidable mistakes in the process. I believe that ~~knowing~~ how to produce rigorous journalism both improves communities and makes people more aware of bias and ~~falehoods~~ in what they read.

Plus, it's fun to investigate your local government.

	~~== Full Description ==~~

	~~[[Image:UpwardGraph.png\|right\|200px\|Study showing that doing cool things is cool]]<br>~~


	~~Participants will all learn to do cool things.~~

	~~Cool things matter!~~

	~~Studies show that if you do cool things, things are cool. And if you do way cool things, then things get even cooler!~~

	~~I've done cool things for the past 3 years, and because of that, my life is way cooler than it was.~~

	~~In this workshop I will share my experiences with you, and show you how you can do more cool things.~~

	Of course, doing cool things takes practice -- years of practice! But, fortunately, it is cool to practice doing cool things. And this cool workshop will start you on your way to doing way cool things!
