THIS JUST IN... Saturday, March 5, 2016

I hope this email finds you all well. I wanted to reach out and share something really cool our office is helping pull together next week, Saturday March 5^th. As you might know, one of Gale’s hallmark pieces of legislation when she was in the City Council was the Open Data law, which requires city agencies to start putting their data on the NYC Open Data portal. Over the past 4 years we have been working with agencies to ensure compliance. On March 5^th  we are commemorating the 4^th anniversary of the passage of the Open Data law and are co-hosting a day long hackathon where participants will work with the data to take a deeper look into their own neighborhoods.  

As part of this day long deep dive into City data, we are running a Student Only track, which will give students a chance to dig into city data for themselves and learn to make maps, analyze trends, and think through how to use this data for social change in their own communities. We only have 15 slots for this student track (which will run 9am-4pm). 

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the coolest people in tech and to get a start on some cutting edge programs. Would you all be interested in having students participate? 

*Students will need to bring laptops

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

All my best,

Ayisha
