Digital Citizenship Workshop
Our civic lives are increasingly conducted in digital spaces. Can ordinary citizens find opportunities in the data to more effectively participate in our own governance? What public data can we access, and how do we make sense of it when we get it? How can we use technology to enhance our civic engagement in meaningful ways?
Technologists of all skill levels are invited to join us in the Community Room at the new Downtown branch of Dayton Metro Library for a day of exploring these questions.
The morning session will be an exploration of public data with our presenters, including investigative reporters from the Cox News iTeam. We’ll delve into datasets about community health, safety and justice, and economic development, and we’ll learn about Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
After lunch, we’ll put this knowledge into practical action and see what we can we build with data from the morning’s explorations.
Code for Dayton is an all volunteer organization. The $10 suggested donation covers lunch, as well as snacks and drinks throughout the day. We’ll reach out to get any dietary requirements or restrictions as the event gets nearer. To get the most out of this event, bring a laptop, ideas, and a notebook!
Seating is limited to 40 attendees.
All attendees are expected to abide by our Code Of Conduct.
Code For Dayton projects are typically written using the Python and Javascript programming languages, but we try to accommodate folks with all skill levels and areas of interest. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to team@codefordayton.org.
