Design Session - Hacking Somerville Happiness

Each week we'll work together to design the prototype Happathon data gathering application that enables us to measure Somerville well-being. Attendees include researchers, Somerville staff, Somerville residents, data scientists, developers, and designers, though specific people may vary from week to week.

These design sessions are moving us toward a weekend long programming hackathon (https://www.meetup.com/The-Happathon-Project-Hacking-Common-Wealth-Happiness/events/146664862/) where we'll begin iteratively building our designs in code.

During each session we'll sync our efforts and decide small design projects to work on over the upcoming week week.

Here are the previous weeks' notes and videos (https://www.meetup.com/The-Happathon-Project-Hacking-Common-Wealth-Happiness/pages/Session_Videos_and_Notes/).

Location

This meetup is online in a Google Hangout. I'll post the web address in the comments a few minutes before the meeting starts.
