SUMMARY:How Maps Speak: Mapping Commons Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative hackathon to build public mapping resources using NYC Open Data \nHow Maps Speak is a collaborative hackathon run by Parisa Setayesh and Shokran Rahiminezhad\, two PhD candidates at the CUNY Graduate Center\, focused on building a public teaching resource for mapping using NYC Open Data. Rather than centering on a single technical product\, this hackathon brings together participants from diverse disciplines to co-create beginner-friendly mapping tutorials\, examples\, and workflows that show how maps are used to communicate with communities. \nParticipants will contribute and comment on short\, structured materials\, such as annotated mapping examples\, tool-agnostic tutorials\, and community-facing workflows\, using NYC Open Data as a shared reference point. These contributions will form the foundation of Mapping Commons\, an open\, publicly accessible collection of mapping resources designed for non-experts. \nThe hackathon emphasizes collaboration\, reflection\, and public usefulness over competition or speed. No advanced technical or GIS experience is required. Learn more here and register below. \nThis hackathon is designed for an interdisciplinary audience\, including: \n\nStudents and researchers\nUrban planners\, designers\, and architects\nCommunity organizers and advocates\nEducators\, librarians\, and journalists\nData visualization practitioners

SUMMARY:DATA2GO.NYC: A Data Tool to Understand Well-Being and Need in NYC
DESCRIPTION:How can we use publicly available data to understand well-being\, need\, and resource gaps in NYC? In this interactive session\, Alex Powers\, Kate Harvey\, and Tara Shawa from Measure of America will demonstrate DATA2GO.NYC\, a free\, easy-to-use online mapping and data tool. This platform aggregates over 400 indicators from federal\, state\, and NYC sources\, allowing users to explore neighborhood-level insights on everything from health and housing to digital equity. Participants will see firsthand how to use change-over-time views and demographic breakdowns to drive informed decision-making and advocacy in their communities. \nThis event is designed for anyone interested in leveraging data for social impact. The session will begin with an introduction and overview of the tool’s capabilities\, followed by an engaging “Data Bingo” competition. This interactive activity provides hands-on experience\, allowing participants to explore the tool in small groups and practice extracting relevant insights in real-time. Whether you are a data novice or a seasoned data deckhand\, you will leave with an enhanced ability to set sail on the vast sea of NYC data and better understand the well-being of New Yorkers.

SUMMARY:Youth-Driven Map-Making with Open Data / Maps at MIXI Club
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we present projects from Maps @ MIXI\, a mapping club about spatial justice\, open data\, and critical cartography. Throughout the year\, five NYC youth worked on four projects during the club in which they analyzed NYC Open Data and other open data sets like the US Census. The projects span a variety of topics – access to pools\, the housing crisis\, restaurant hygiene ratings\, and youth-targeting police activity. The projects are youth-driven and represent the questions youth bring to open data. \nFirst\, this will briefly introduce the Maps @ MIXI club. Then\, each youth/team will briefly discuss their project\, the motivation behind the work\, and the map they created. \nUnequal Pool Distribution Around NYC and How It Affects Overall Public Health by Zachary Kiselev\nHow can we use NYC Open Data to understand whether pool access is unevenly distributed between neighborhoods\, and how can this be used as a marker for overall public health? \nUsing NYC Open Data to Understand the Causes of New York City’s Housing Crisis by Oleksandra Borysova\nHow can NYC Open Data show why NYC has a housing crisis by looking at vacancy\, rents\, wages\, population changes\, transportation\, and Airbnb listings? \nPredicting Restaurant Hygiene Grades Across New York City by Gab Dechirico and Mariam Khan\nIn New York City\, to what extent do neighborhood socioeconomic indicators and cuisine types predict a restaurant’s likelihood of receiving an “A” hygiene grade\, after accounting for inspection frequency and violation patterns? \nPolicing and Youth: Analyzing Police Stops of Youth in New York City by Wen Chen\nHow does the racial composition of youth subjected to police stops within 700 feet of NYC public schools differ from the racial composition of youth residing in the surrounding census tracts?

SUMMARY:Forging Links Between Public Scholarship\, Civic Tech\, and Open Data: A Showcase of CUNY Public Scholarship Practice Space (PS2) Projects
DESCRIPTION:Public scholarship has been a core value and practice of the CUNY Graduate Center since its founding 1961\, and long part of the culture of CUNY\, the largest urban public university in the United States. Increasingly\, public scholars committed to creating and disseminating knowledge in service of the public good work with open data in their projects\, and disseminate their work in open scholarly publishing platforms\, curate and release public datasets\, and engage in digital media to share their work for public audiences. \nThis interactive panel discussion will provide an overview of how public scholarship\, scholar activism\, and open data have many existing links in projects supported by The Public Scholarship Practice Space (PS2) at The Center for the Humanities at The CUNY Graduate Center. It will then showcase and reflect on several recent projects completed by graduate students at CUNY whose work focused on public scholarship\, activism\, arts-based methods\, digital equity\, and civic tech. Three of the identified presenters were 2025 Early Research Initiative/Public Scholarship Practice Space 2025 Summer Research Fellows and two presenters were Social Practice CUNY Fellows. \n– Ian G. Williams will share his research on digital literacy\, civic tech networks\, and democracy through participation in The Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC) in Mechelen\, Belgium in July 2025\, experiments in creating pedagogical tools bridging open data literacy and data justice in a social work classroom while examining 311 complaints about homelessness\, and involvement with the NYC Public Interest Tech (PIT) Pop-Up this fall. Read Ian’s write-up on summer activities here. \n– Seon Britton will share his research on community technology organizations (CTOs) working to advance digital equity and inclusion in New York City through broadband internet service provision\, including fieldwork with Silicon Harlem and NYC Mesh. His work argues that CTOs are a new type of organization that can help in providing internet access to currently underserved communities. Read Seon’s write-up on summer activities here. \n– Jaclyn Reyes and Ezra Undag will share their work with The UKAI Initiative\, a transnational collaboration of artists\, cultural workers and researchers in the US and in the Philippines that aims to advance environmental and climate justice through art\, culture and community-building. The UKAI Initiative has several projects; this presentation will focus on the project\, “Transnational Clothing Pathways.” Read more about The UKAI Initiative here.

SUMMARY:Tracing the City: Data Science for Social Good Student Work Exhibition & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Tracing the City features student work from The Cooper Union’s interdisciplinary course\, Data Science for Social Good\, that pairs engineering\, art\, and architecture students with New York City nonprofits to help address real-world challenges together. Through the course\, Cooper Union students help these organizations explore open datasets drawn from NYC Open Data sources\, communicate findings visually\, and propose data-informed interventions. Projects often highlight disparities in health outcomes\, environmental conditions\, educational access\, and justice-system involvement across different city neighborhoods. This year\, students are collaborating with NYC-based nonprofits—including organizations such as Bee U\, Civic Health Alliance\, and Justicia Lab\, and Housing Rights Initiative—to investigate how open data can support youth empowerment\, community health\, tenancy protections\, and corporate wage theft. \nFor Open Data Week 2026\, we are hosting a public exhibition and reception showcasing work from this year’s Data Visualization and Data Science for Social Good cohort\, alongside selected projects from previous years. The exhibition will feature a range of student work installed in The Cooper Union Civic Projects Lab; ranging from interactive installations\, posters\, visual narrative studies\, and digital prototypes— all built using NYC Open Data and nonprofit partner datasets. The event is designed to be highly participatory: student teams will be present throughout the space to walk attendees through their datasets\, demonstrate interactive components\, discuss methodologies\, and engage in open conversation about their findings and design choices. Rather than a static gallery\, the exhibition will function as an open studio environment where visitors can test interactives\, review visual drafts\, ask questions directly to student creators\, and learn how open data is used to support real-world challenges faced by NYC communities. A brief opening talk will introduce the pedagogy of the course and the role of open data in civic problem-solving\, but the emphasis will be on hands-on engagement and informal dialogue. The goal is to create an accessible and welcoming public space where open data comes alive through student-led exploration\, community insight\, and interactive design. Register here.
