+We found the best way to continue developing [NodeBox Live](https://nodebox.live/) is to expose it to new users and see how they use the software, where they stumble, and how we can improve.
+
+Last week we organized a NodeBox Live data visualization workshop at the [Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology](http://www.pja.edu.pl/en/).
+
+This workshop was in collaboration with the [Warsaw City Contact Center](https://warszawa19115.pl/home) (better known by its hotline number 19115) who provided data on "non-urgent" notifications like garbage, road damage or broken trees.
+
+All the data was provided through a [uniform city API](https://api.um.warszawa.pl/) (in Polish) which provided much more information on themes such as environmental data, educational data, transportation information and more. Some of the data sets are really interesting, like a live feed of all buses and trams running through the city of Warsaw.
+
+During the first two days we taught students how to use NodeBox Live: the basic principles of procedural graphics, how to work with data, and how to connect data points to a visual representation.
+
+Workshops like these are a great opportunity to discover functionality that is useful for many users. During the workshop we developed nodes to easily fetch real-time JSON data, perform mapping from latitude/longitute to X/Y coordinates (using the [d3-geo](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo) library) and manipulate imported data by adding or replacing columns.
+
+We had some very enthusiastic students developing their ideas into visual experiments. Here are some of the works:
+
+We would like to thank the Polish-Japanese Academy for hosting our workshops, especially Ewa Satalecka and Olga Wroniewicz.
+
+We also want to thank the city of Warsaw for their cooperation and bringing us into direct contact with the developers when things weren't working as planned.
+
+If you'd like to know more about NodeBox Live, the upcoming web-based version of NodeBox, head over to [our new website](https://nodebox.live).
