Explorable Explanations workshop

A small event held at CDG for people making interactive visualizations of systems.

Led directly to Vi and Nicky's Parable of the Polygons and Nicky's Explorables page, which in turn led to the term "explorable explanations" entering widespread usage.

Nicky’s writeup of the event. While it energized Nicky, it also paralyzed Amit.
