Projects
- Intro to Programming Using Open Gov
- 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 Intro_to_Programming_Using_Open_Government_Data#Saturday_Projects 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_7 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.
