Open Data Week is an annual festival of community-driven events organized and produced by the NYC Open Data Team at the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI), BetaNYC, and Data Through Design. The 2023 Festival kicked off at the opening of Data Through Design‘s annual art exhibition. Throughout the week, participants engaged with NYC Open Data at dozens of virtual and in-person events. We closed out the week with BetaNYC’s annual civic tech conference, NYC School of Data, which took place at CUNY School of Law in Long Island City.
NYC School of Data is a community conference that brings together the City’s technology, data, and design communities. It is organized by BetaNYC, with programming support from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics (MODA). From over 100 community suggested sessions, we are organizing 30 thought provoking panels, workshops, office hours, and demo/usability sessions to cover a wide variety of topics – digital and data literacy, privacy, smart cities, open government, service design, civic engagement, and open data.
In this training, we will explore the data and tools you can use it to better track ongoing issues, draw insights of occurring issues, and find ways to solve issues.
