Overview
We started as a meetup and fundamentally believe that public programs enable us to demystify civics and data.
New York City needs more data literate leaders— current and future leaders. Our goal in producing public programs is to engage and maintain a diverse community of Open Data literate teachers and users.
What and How
We run a few core programs throughout the year. Our public open data programs create community and conversation around open data. They bring people together to learn about and use open data, and engage with civic stakeholders.
