Participate in the One Seattle Open Data Mini-Hackathon (12/14/23)
Posted: 12/7/2023 ()
Are you interested in using publicly available City data to design a data dashboard that tells a story or highlights an issue? Please join the City of Seattle for a friendly half-day hackathon at Tableau’s Fremont office, hosted by Salesforce. The event will take place on Thursday December 14, 2023 with a kickoff at 10:00 and presentation and awards at 2:00 PM. Teams will design and build a new dashboard or visualization that tells a story using a dataset assigned from Seattle Open Data (https://data.seattle.gov). Any dashboarding or visualization tools can be used. This opportunity is open to faculty, staff, graduate, and undergraduate level participants (or younger).
This is a very friendly competition. A panel of judges including the Seattle Chief Technology Officer and Mayor’s Office and Tableau representatives will score dashboards. The winning team or teams will receive a non-monetary award and will be recognized by the City, including on the Innovation Hub. Anyone, regardless of experience, is welcome to form a team or join with others at the event. Developers and data experts will be available for coaching and technical help before and throughout the day and there will be optional workshops on civic design, using open data, and building dashboards. Hackathon rules and more details will be sent in early December. Please save the date! This mini-hackathon celebrates the release of Seattle’s One Seattle Data Strategy, a vision and plan to advance our use of data and analytical information. Lunch, coffee, snacks, and water will be provided.Spots are limited but registration is currently OPEN!
