Using Open Tools to Explore Open Data

DataKind builds free and open software in the public interest. Spanning such diverse services as community mapping, predictive modeling, data transformation, data quality checks, and more, DataKind works with social impact organizations to build solutions that are usable, useful, and context-appropriate – and then helps organizations adopt those solutions at scale. This session will feature demonstrations of several of DataKind’s tools, introductory training, access to references, use cases, and paths to learn more and to participate in our software advisory group.  Tools include ladderhub.org, colandrapp.com, getedvise.com, fencelinedata.org and more.

All attendees are welcome and there is no prerequisite level of data literacy, digital literacy, or awareness of free and open source tools. All information and resources will be provided to attendees.
