Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal of this project is to have volunteers log specific demographic information in criminal articles that will help us with our humanizing language project. Using the Chicago Justice Project's architecture, the volunteers can go through articles and help us save this information.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  1. Spend at least 5 hours on the architecture logging demographic information from the articles, as well as information about the topic, time the incident occurred, and news agency the topic came from.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Any volunteers will be provided with contact information if they have any questions. We also have a slack channel that we can add them to.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

Volunteers would need access to the internet and must be able to read English.
