+# Workshop Proposal
+## Title
+Analyzing OpenFEC Finacial Trends
+---
+
+# Specific Topic
+- We are going to use the OpenFEC API Election endpoint to visualize data for total disbursements and total receipts for Presidential candidates for the last 30 elections.
+- (our example) Graph will compare this financial information over time and for both the Democratic and Republican parties. 
+- Comparing one specific data point for Democratics and Republicans from 1950-2016
+
+---
+
+# Interactive Component
+- We will have students visualize data from the same endpoint but for cash_on_hand_end_period
+- They will be using the API to record 3 specific data for each candiate during that election year into a bar graph using Chartjs.
+## Example Image
+<img src={i} />
+---
+
+# Code Deliverables
+## Week 2
+- Code out total disbursements and total receipts (Work on together)
+
+## Week 3
+- Finish up any unfinished work from week 2 + complete interactive activity (Work on together)
+
+## Week 4
+- Finish up any unfinished code from interactive activity
+- Work on presentation slides (will decide how to split up)
+
+---  
+
+# Slide Outline
+What is a general roadmap for your slides?
+- Intro to tech (Chartjs, d3js)
+- Visualize information from API and Chartjs (also explain how to get the JSON from the website)
+- Explain and present our code
+- Present interactive activity prompt
+- Conclusion and why its important
+---
+
+# Timing
+Each workshop should be around an hour to 90 minutes. How long will your workshop be?
+- An hour
+---
+
+# Motivation behind project
+What motivated your duo to pursue this idea?
+- Explored the API and searched through to find interesting information
+- The data from the API allows us to look in to how much money each candiate is spending and how much is the 'sweet spot'
+- Comparing the Democrats and Republicans, we want to figure out if money is a factor in winning.
+- Importance: Can we use information from the past to gain insight into right amount to spend on an election? Can this help us in predicting results?
+---
+
+# Explain difficulty/prior experience needed
+Is there any prior experience needed for this workshop? Please be specific.
+- Some basic experience with HTML/CSS/JavaScript would be helpful, but not neccessarily required
+---
+
+# Technologies that will be used
+- Chartjs/D3js
+- Postman

+# OpenFEC Financial Data Visualization
+
+## API Key
+
+Sign up for the OpenFEC API Key through this [website.](https://api.data.gov/signup/)Check your email for the API Key and save it. You will need the API key to make requests to the API.
+
+## ChartJS Installation
+
+Download ChartJS through this [website.](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/chart.js) It will download a zip file, which you should extract to a folder where you ultimately want to save your final project. The folder will be called `package`.
+
+## Create HTML/JS Files
+
+Create one HTML file and one JS file in the same location as you extracted the ChartJS. You should edit and save the HTML file and JS file in a text editor of your choice (download one if you don’t have one)
+
+## Testing Your Program and Seeing Output
+
+As you code your HTML and JS files, to run the program and see the output, right-click on the HTML file in your file directory and open with a web browser of your choice!
+
+## Want to Learn How to Code the Project?
+
+See the blog!
