Groundwork
Hackers, data analysts, concerned citizens! Lend me your ear!
Join us for Groundwork, an important event uniting the awesome power of Baltimore’s tech community with organizations and people who could greatly benefit from access to open data and the technological skills to analyze it.
Groundwork is a new way of mobilizing change at a local level. (Check out the schedule here.) It’s a collaboration of policy makers, developers, local educators, and concerned citizens who will come together to analyze the pressing needs of Baltimore, mash up a giant pot of data, and come out with multiple solutions that can help solve some of the City’s biggest problems.
This is an opportunity affect critical change in Baltimore by working together with organizations in need, the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Governor’s offices (both of whom will open never-before-seen data sets at Groundwork,) and the Mayor’s office.
Come help us make a real difference. (Plus, there’ll be food and prizes!)
Friday, September 28 (5 pm – 9 pm)
