Get started with the new web components standard and Google's Polymer web components framework as part of an open source project: the Collaboration Tree.  Web components allow you to create new HTML tags which can be used with any other HTML based web technology.  Polymer adds data binding for cascading changes, as well as a broad library of polished components.  The Collaboration Tree is an open source project in progress, built on Polymer, who's goal is to create a new large scale collaborative discussion platform (read: open think tank). This event will introduce you to the project and help you get hands on with Polymer web components.  If you want to continue learning and working with Polymer on a real project you can tasks from the open source project, each ranked for different levels of experience and effort.  This is part of the larger Collaboration Tree hackathon weekend, which you can join online via Slack. Free parking & snacks provided! Parking is available up the ramp off Beverly Blvd.  Take the stairs down from the center of the parking lot. If you're looking to jump in a bit early we'll also be at Hack for LA the Tuesday night before.

The Los Angeles Public Library,  in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of the Census, LA City’s Information Technology Agency, and the County of Los Angeles are hosting the first-ever hackathon focused on the 2020 Census to ensure that everyone gets counted in Los Angeles. This event is presented as part of Digital Inclusion Week.   About: Per the U.S. Constitution every person living in the U.S. must get counted every ten years. An accurate census count translates into equitable political representation in Congress and billions of dollars in federal funds for vital social programs and services in the City and the County of Los Angeles (i.e., health, social services, transportation, medicare, medicaid, foster care, senior services, education, etc.). For the first time in history the U.S. Census Bureau will make the survey available online.  This will have a drastic impact in how Los Angeles County residents complete the survey. The online Census will pose unprecedented opportunities and challenges, including a strong need to bridge the digital divide.  In addition to the digital divide, concerns over the addition of a citizenship question have cast a shadow over an already plagued census.  Given that Los Angeles has the second highest immigrant population in the country and immigrants’ heightened sense of fear and anxiety, civil rights organizations, immigration advocacy groups, and several state and local government agencies worry that immigrants and other hard-to-survey populations will not exercise their Constitutional right to get counted. Given the critical importance of the census and its fiscal and political impact, it is important that we do everything we can to ensure a full, fair, and accurate count in Los Angeles. Call to action: Do you want to ensure that everyone in the City and County of Los Angeles is counted accurately and that our region gets its fair share of funds for social programs, transportation, medicare, education, and other services? Do you want to make sure that all Angelenos are counted regardless of their citizenship status?   Help everyone exercise their Constitutional right to get counted by developing strategies and/or products to effectively outreach to and engage residents for the 2020 Census.   Challenge: What creative solutions, technological or otherwise, can you design to make the 2020 Census survey more accessible and engaging, especially for those that will be hard-to-survey, including immigrants, racial and ethnic communities, children 0-5 years, renters, college students, individuals with limited-English proficiency, and people living in poverty?   Note: In this context “accessibility” means mobile apps, outreach tool kits, easy to understand informational material, multi-lingual translated material, easy to navigate website or digital tools.   Hybrid Event: This event will be hosted at the Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles, with the opportunity for teams to participate virtually. Attendees are encouraged to meet virtually prior to event in Slack channel 2020census.slack.com to begin the conversation.   A team size of 4-5 people is recommended. The ideal team make-up should include at least one subject matter expert, a tech person, and a digital storyteller or data person. A team leader will need to be selected.   Presentations and/or content can be saved in a shared Google Folder. Each team will give a five minute presentation before the judging panel at the end of the day. Those participating virtually will present to the judges via Zoom.   Date: May 6, 2018 Time: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Location: Central Library, 630 West 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071 Parking: Located directly underneath the library at 544 S Flower St, Los Angeles, CA 90071 Cost for the day is $8. Public transportation is highly encouraged. Food: Participants will be provided with lunch   Prizes: 1 iPad Pro Gift Basket from Los Angeles Public Library City of LA Recognition Certificate Opportunity to present idea at the quarterly Census 2020 Countywide Outreach Complete Count Committee meeting on Thursday, May 24, 2018 Timeline: 9:00 am - Participants check-in 9:30 am - Welcome / Intros (Mark Taper Auditorium) 10:00 am - Teams assemble 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Lunch provided in the Courtyards 4:15 pm - Finalized projects are submitted to Google Folder 4:30 pm - Team presentations 5:30 pm - Winners announced Questions and comments can be directed to erodarte@lapl.org.
