SUMMARY:Drop-in Data Discussions and AI Dialogs for Real World Solutions
DESCRIPTION:This event is a half-day in-person drop-in\, office hours-style session aimed at human services professionals and similar public sector staff to learn about ways that Open Data and AI might be used to help their organizations\, and to share experiences and challenges they currently face. The session will include hands-on activities and demos\, educational materials\, informal one-on-one discussions\, group Q+As\, and design activities. \nCome and say hi if you have questions like these about Open Data: \n\nI want to know where things are. Is there mapped Open Data on where human services resources are located? If I manage a resource can I add to these maps?\nI want to know about local and State budgeting and finances. Is there public information about civic budgets? Where can I see capital funding allocations\, for example?\nI’m curious about city planning and demographics. What is the makeup of our City? Who lives where\, and why?\n\nOr questions like these about AI: \n\nI hear a lot about AI and how it will change everything. How are human services organizations responding to this change? What do I need to know?\nWhat are the risks of using AI in my work? Are there ways to minimize potential harms to my organization and our clients?\nAI is everywhere\, but what can it actually do? Can you explain how my organization can safely identify and implement AI opportunities?\n\nWe will be running activities to help you use Open Data tools to answer questions relevant to your organization’s needs\, to understand AI from the perspective of its capabilities (i.e. what it can do for you rather than how it works)\, and to identify low-risk and low-hanging fruit opportunities for using AI and Open Data in your organization. The first hour will include interactive table demonstrations of open data resources; the second hour will focus on the potential of AI capabilities for documenting impacts and improving organizational performance; the third hour will offer human services and local government agency staff the change to bring their data questions to office hours\, meeting with like-minded colleagues\, academics with domain expertise in data and AI literacy and student assistants. \nAbout the organizers: \nThis event extends a series of engagements and conversations we are having with individuals and human services organizations to help navigate change and uncertainty associated with AI\, and to help identify and realize opportunities offered by Open Data. We are researchers and educators committed to designing and using technology in the public interest. \n\nLauri Goldkind is Professor of Social Work at the Graduate School of Social Service\, Fordham University. She is interested in how digital tools\, artificial intelligence and open data can make the lives of individuals in and served by the social sector better. (https://www.laurigoldkind.net)\nGraham Dove is Assistant Professor at New York University\, Tandon School of Engineering. His research in human-computer interaction (HCI) focuses on helping diverse groups of people design and use data-rich technologies and artificial intelligence\, without requiring expertise in data science. (https://wp.nyu.edu/tandonschoolofengineering-peopleplustechnology/)\n\nThis event will be held in the NYC PIT Pop-Up. Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics).

SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up: CUNY Open Data Takeover Day Three
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Open Data Week 2026\, the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab will host a week-long Open Data Takeover of the NYC PIT Pop-Up at the Oculus / World Trade Center. The activation advances Open Data Week’s goals of accessibility\, civic learning\, and practical use of open data by bringing open data projects into a highly visible\, public-facing space. Attendees can drop in at any time during the hours below for a demonstration of the tool and to speak with the presenter. Most of the demos will also be streamed live from the Pop-Up on its Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cunypitlab). Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics). View the full PIT Lab schedule. No RSVP needed\, just stop by! \n[10am-1pm]\nLauri Goldkind – Drop-in Data Discussions & AI Dialogs for Real World Solutions\nThis is a one-day in-person drop-in\, office hours style session aimed at human services professionals and similar public sector staff to learn about ways that Open Data and AI might be used to help their organizations\, and to share experiences and challenges they currently face.

We create trauma-informed technologies that allow individuals to cultivate the necessary awareness to design sustainable pathways to well-being across personal\, social\, professional and collective communities. Utilizing the Systems Based Awareness Map\, the world’s first interactive map of human awareness\, we are building a scalable\, equitable platform combined with experiences that we call MindHeart Activations – in-person events that support collective healing through combining culturally relevant forms of somatics\, contemplative practices\, land-based rituals and retreats\, music and art\, all designed to create an infrastructure of care as a loving response to our awareness of the rising loneliness\, stress\, isolation and depression experienced across the world. \nSasha Richardson – Black Knowledge Erasure Dataset\nThe Black Knowledge Erasure Dataset (BKED) is a research archive designed to document how AI models like GPT-5 and Gemini distort Black history and culture through specific “hallucinations”. Rather than viewing these errors as random bugs\, the project frames them as “epistemic erasure\,” where algorithms invent authorities or omit key figures in ways that mirror historical discrimination. The dataset includes the original prompts\, the incorrect AI responses\, and human-verified annotations that identify exactly where the models failed against standard archival sources. \nAlex Conner – ººSPARK**CIVIC\nºSPARK**AI × ºDO..OS form the intelligence and operating layer behind ºSPARK**CIVIC’s NYC Data Week session\, demonstrating how NYC Open Data can move from published datasets to shared understanding and clear next steps. ºSPARK**AI helps interpret complex civic data and policy context into consistent\, plain-language meaning\, while ºDO..OS ensures that guidance carries forward as reusable actions\, templates\, and handoffs across committees\, agencies\, partners\, and the public.

SUMMARY:Echo{logies}\, Data Through Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echo{logies} is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design\, an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. \nVisiting the Exhibition\nThe exhibition is open to the public daily from 12pm to 7 pm during Open Data Week. On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

SUMMARY:Mapping Green Space Access: Turn Data into Community Action
DESCRIPTION:A workshop that uses NYC Open Data to map green space access gaps\, not just where parks exist\, but who can actually reach them. We’ll identify transit barriers\, unsafe pedestrian routes\, and vacant lots with conversion potential\, then equip participants with concrete tools to turn that analysis into community advocacy. \nThe core question isn’t whether parks are near enough\, it’s whether people can access them. A park two miles away with no bus route might as well not exist for the people who need it most. Participants will learn to map those gaps and identify actionable solutions: Which bus route needs extending? Which vacant lot could become a neighborhood green space? Which crosswalk is missing? This workshop is about democratizing spatial analysis so that communities\, not just planners\, have the data to advocate for themselves. \nBy the end\, participants will have learned what it takes to create a working map of access gaps in a neighborhood of their choosing\, a set of targeted recommendations\, and guidance on how to present that data to the decision-makers who can act on it. \nThis event will be held at the Little Red School House\, 272 Avenue of the Americas.

SUMMARY:What’s in a Dataset? Cyanotypes as Tools for Critical and Creative Data Capture
DESCRIPTION:How would you describe your favorite tree to someone who had never seen it? \nFramed around themes of data feminism and critical data studies\, this workshop\, led by Alissa Kushner and Star Ajasin\, explores the choices behind how traditional datasets and metadata describe the world around us. Participants will poke through NYC Open Data’s most recent Street Tree Census\, interrogating what it means to capture the essence of our urban environments into a dataset\, questioning the choices\, politics\, and perspectives behind how data is chosen\, organized\, and labeled. We will then visit a tree closest to the site of the workshop and collect metadata not typically captured about it through the creation of cyanotype images (also known as sun prints)\, serving as a counter-method of slow and embodied data capture. Participants will leave the workshop with a more critical understanding of environmental data as well as a handmade cyanotype to take home with them. \nThis event is hosted at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering at 370 Jay Street in Downtown Brooklyn.
