Details
(for updates, go to the official hack page here: https://codeforphilly.org/events/datahack2020)
-------------- About the hack --------------
Code for Philly, DataPhilly, R Ladies Philly, the Philly Data Jawn, Health Federation of Philadelphia, and Prevention Point are hosting a data science hackathon to answer pertinent questions around the Opioid Crisis in Philadelphia. The goals of this event are to provide health organizations with insights that may normally be unavailable to them and to create analyses that help inform the public about the opioid epidemic in our city.
-------------- Event Info --------------
Participants will have several hours to form their team, consider the questions, and devise a plan to conduct their relevant analysis. Over the next five weeks, these teams will work on their analyses and write their presentations. RSVPs are encouraged via the Code for Philly meetup page (https://www.meetup.com/Code-for-Philly/events/267544650/) so organizers can order enough pizza :)
-------------- How do I sign up? --------------
Given that this is a multi-group effort, we want to avoid possible confusion about which platform to register on. We therefore are keeping Meetup.com registration closed, and ask all participants to register via this Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2020-data-hack-data-science-for-a-healthier-community-tickets-86813763303
