PRESENTATION TOPIC

Your Community. Your Data.

Efforts have been made at all levels in government to collect and make data available for the public, meant to serve the public. Most of this data is underused by the community due to lack of data literacy within government/non-profit organizations and the local communities. In this talk, we will discuss the status of the data sources, talk through some of the challenges, applications, and how you can get involved.
