Highway to #CO2 Hell by Oriol Vidal, Rebecca Pazos, Víctor Garcia and Núria Altimir

"From 0 to 100. It's end of June 2021, I have been through the Master’s Degree in Visual Tools to Empower Citizens. It has been a wild and chaotic ride, a mix between obstacle racing, code breaking, and meditative retreat. The road has been bumpy but it took me where I wanted: got a crash course -from the comfort of my home desk- into bits and pieces I had been missing and others I did not know I was missing. It was time to get hands dirty again into coding as much as it was time for me to break bubbles. This is a first tale about the outcome”. (More here)

The Two Cat by Laura Aragó, Sara Chodosh, Rocío Márquez and Ànnia Monreal

Laura Aragó

"Combining my role as a master’s student and my full-time data journalist has been a stressful and incredible journey. These studies have expanded my toolbox with a vast range of new resources. The proximity of the teachers and working side by side with classmates has taught me new ways to face data visualization challenges."

Rocío Márquez

"Taking the MVTEC has offered me the possibility of learning programming, statistical and ethical techniques, to visualize data. And thanks to the teachers and colleagues, I have learned and been able to practice with the best! A lot of knowledge, even to continue learning after the master's degree. I recommend it!"

"People do crazy things during the pandemic. And my share of that is juggling between two roles, a master student and a full time journalist, in the past nine months. I've learned so much throughout not only from the program/mentors/classmates but also from myself. Heard that teachers are pretty happy about their first batch of students and will have 2nd soon. Here are some links and attachments I've made, either individually or with my dear classmates, if you'd like to know what I get out of the program or the reason why I am ghosting" 

Xavier Bolló

"Amazed to get to know you is all these unique, talented and motivated, mentors and teachers, too, the highest quality studies I've ever coursed."
