Open Data Day DC 2016

Open Data Day DC is a yearly hackathon and training event in Washington, DC on the same day as more than 100 other Open Data Day events throughout the world.

Open Data Day DC 2016 will be on Friday, March 4 (workshops only) and Saturday, March 5 (hacking & workshops). The location will be announced soon, but it will most likely be in downtown Washington, DC.

The event is free and open to the public. No prior experience with open data or programming is needed --- there will be lots of opportunities to learn and participate for everyone.

The workshops on Friday and Saturday will cover many aspects of open data, including an introduction, maps, and data science. (We'll post the schedule at http://dc.opendataday.org/ once it's ready.) At the hackathon session on Saturday, participants will build prototypes and tools on a diverse range of subjects, from municipal issues here in DC to international development and government accountability.
