Cosa facciamo

We are community-based civic tech group dedicated to improving lives in central Ohio through open data, technology, and education. We are also a Code For America (https://www.codeforamerica.org/) brigade empowering volunteers to work on projects alongside community partners / local government and growing community that provides freedom to connect, learn, innovate and collaborate. Learn more about us at https://opencolumbus.com/

Our Goals

• Enable civic tech participation in areas of BI/Analytics, Data analysis / Visualization and software development to solve problems impacting our community.

• Encourage participants by providing data, tools, and education.

How we started

• This group started after participating in the 2018 Hackathon ( http://hackscos.com ) with the mission to enable community participation in areas of BI/Analytics, Data analysis / Visualization and software development.

• Promoting open datasets (like https://www.smartcolumbusos.com/data ) to solve challenges related to the quality of life and economic growth of Columbus.
