SUMMARY:OpenStreetMap Workshop with High School of Environmental Studies (HSES) Students
DESCRIPTION:BetaNYC staff and BetaNYC Civic Innovation Fellows will be teaching an introductory workshop to OpenStreetMap (OSM) and showing how students can make an impact using OpenStreetMap. In a nutshell\, OpenStreetMap is an open data platform to place community data. OSM is used by urban planners\, government agencies\, humanitarian groups\, and corporations such as Amazon\, Apple\, Uber\, The New York Times\, numerous films and TV shows such as Blade Runner 2049\, and so many more groups!  \nThe workshop will be split into two sections. First\, in our introductory classroom portion\, we will talk about OSM’s impact\, teach how to use OSM\, and share the 2023 Spring Mapping for Equity project that fellows have piloted this semester\, in partnership with North Brooklyn Parks Alliance and Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez’s District 34 office\, as an example of what students can do with their own initiatives. \nThe second portion is where students will act on what they learned! We will walk to Central Park on a mini field trip where students will map public amenities\, such as benches\, sidewalks\, ramps\, public bathrooms\, and more\, which ultimately helps anyone using this data identify where these amenities are located.

SUMMARY:NYC Open Data Week 2023
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEvery March\, New Yorkers come together online and across the five boroughs to celebrate public data in New York City and mark the anniversary of the City’s first open data law\, which was signed on March 7\, 2012.

SUMMARY:Civic Innovation Fellows' Spring Showcase
DESCRIPTION:BetaNYC would like to invite you to be a guest at our Civic Innovation Fellows Spring Showcase next Friday\, May 20th from 2:30-4:30pm at the Fund for the City of New York. \nStudents have been studying and working with us 1-2 days a week during the last two months. We are so pleased with this cohort’s energy and enthusiasm for learning how to use open data and contribute to the data commons. Most of this semester’s cohort began with some familiarity with spreadsheets and basic data functions. Today we are thrilled to see them: \n\ncreating data visualizations with DataWrapper (a tool used by journalists)\nnavigating the NYC Open Data Platform with ease\nautomating data processes using Google Sheets using the programming language R\nharnessing GIS tools to survey and map public realm data into OpenStreetMap (a wikipedia for maps that many people rely on for accurate geospatial information)\nand more generally\, building an understanding of how our city operates and the opportunities in front of them to build a stronger democracy\n\nPresentations begin around 2:30pm\, followed by refreshments and brief remarks from Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine.

SUMMARY:NYC Open Data Week 2022

SUMMARY:NYC School of Data 2022
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to NYC School of Data 2022\nJoin us for 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)\, and hosted by the Jacobs Urban Tech Hub at Cornell Tech. \n\nRegister at https://schoolofdata.nyc/nyc-school-of-data-2022-is-here/\nSchedule at https://nycsodata22.sched.com/\n\nThe 21st Century is defined by data streams\, flows\, analytics\, and systems evaluations. If society is the soil\, technology is the plant\, design is the DNA\, and data is the fruit. Yet data doesn’t not always capture the human condition. Data within our society is a reflection of systems\, processes\, bureaucracies\, and reports. We cannot fully understand government operations without discussing how technology and data are used to manage\, maintain\, monitor\, and evaluate human conditions. \nFor the last twelve years\, NYC School of Data and its predecessor conferences have built a framework of relationships that have successfully demystified data and technology\, fostered participatory democracy\, built cross-borough relationships\, and mentored the next generation of civic leaders. \nThrough workshops\, panels\, demos\, and networking\, NYC School of Data is our way to celebrate good applications\, a platform to discuss improvements\, and a classroom to empower New Yorkers to improve their own neighborhoods. \nJoin us to build new connections\, learn skills and enhance your community. We will provide you a safe space to discuss open data\, digital services\, civic technology\, analytics\, smart cities\, open government\, and digital transformation. Also\, let us kick off International Open Data Day and NYC’s Open Data Week with a bang! \nOn Saturday\, March 5\, we are curating 30+ sessions. \nWe hope to see you at the NYC School of Data 2022\, a community-driven conference that demystifies data and technology\, fosters democracy\, and builds a new generation of civic leaders.
