Engagement Event

Join our team at the Greenpoint Library and learn how to turn the data collected at our field mapping event into publically accessible open data on OpenStreetMap. Our staff and Civic Innovation Fellows will guide you through the process of uploading and tagging features on OpenStreetMap. All are welcome to share their skills or learn for the first time! Please bring your own laptop, charger, and mouse.

Spend the morning with BetaNYC Fellows mapping public realm data with field papers in McCarren Park! We’ll meet at the McCarren Park Fieldhouse. Participants will learn how to what they see in an urban environment into data that anyone can access on OpenStreetMap.

Join us for a Happy Hour at Randolph Beer, where you’ll meet the people behind the scenes at Open Data Week, learn more about our upcoming festival, and celebrate the anniversary of NYC’s Open Data Law. Feel free to bring your friends too!
