Details

  • Location: BoCoup Loft
  • Time: Saturday, February 23rd, 1-5pm
  • If you haven't signed up already, do so here. (You don't need to sign up to come, but it makes my life easier.)

A Vague Schedule

  • 1:00pm: Kickoff
  • 2:00pm: Pizza!
  • 4:45pm: Wrap up - Talk about the projects you worked on during Open Data Day. Brag, get feedback, and maybe even recruit new volunteers for your project.

Projects

  • Intro to Programming Using Open Government Data
    • What it is: A version of the highly engaging Boston Python Workshop altered to use open government data examples and to highlight simple, useful skills such as visualization and statistics.

    • Ways to contribute:
      • Help work on our Saturday Projects - the visualization one especially needs work.
      • Give feedback on our Saturday projects. Experienced programmers who have suggestions for alternate ways to structure the projects, and new programmers who can pinpoint when the projects are too confusing, are all welcome.
      • Go through the Boston Python Workshop curriculum and note when examples are used that could be replaced with government data examples.
      • Help create a presentation (powerpoint? prezi?) highlighting open gov projects and the novel ways they use data.


  • Introduction to Open Science Course Sprint
