CANCELED: In 2017, Mayor de Blasio promised “3K for All” but has NO PLAN to cover two-thirds of children citywide. Manhattan has NO 3K below 122^nd Street on the Westside or 100^th Street on the Eastside.* Join us to demand 3K for All citywide.

* 3K available in School District 1 for 2020.

In this intro to NYC Open Data training, participants will learn the terms and processes essential to working with NYC Open Data. They will learn how to access and manipulate a variety of NYC open data sets relevant to their local community in a series of "data journey" exercises. Participants will become familiar with the technologies and tools that were designed with community boards— like BoardStat, an easy-to-use data analytics tool— to harness NYC Open Data to gain valuable insight into their local community. Come ready to learn, share and get right into data sets and graphs!
