      Immersive digital storytelling - scrollytelling, interactive data visualisations, dynamic maps - was once the exclusive domain of specialist teams with deep expertise in web design, coding, and data analysis. Recent developments in AI models and AI agents are changing that.

      This hands-on workshop introduces participants to Claude Code, an AI-powered coding tool that makes it possible for journalists and editors with only basic web development knowledge to build compelling, interactive data stories from scratch.

      Working from a single dataset, attendees will build an interactive data story with scroll-driven animations and dynamic charts, and leave with both the skills and the confidence to bring this kind of storytelling into their own newsroom. The session will be accessible for anyone who knows basic web development skills, i.e. a bit of HTML, CSS and Javascript
