CUNY Queens College students will present interactive analyses and tools they created using Python on the CrossCompute platform. The goal of the event is to demonstrate problem solving techniques using NYC Open Data. CrossCompute partnered with the Tech Incubator at Queens College to design a self-study curriculum that schools can use to create their own Open Data Student Showcase. Students worked with mentors through a series of guided exercises to practice analyzing data, automating analyses and presenting reports.
Our mission is to inspire teams around the world to create and share decision-support tools that improve health, safety, quality of life.
