NYC Open Data Week 2022 - Mar 11 2022 

This workshop will give attendees the tools they need to create complex and beautiful data visualizations with NYC Open Data using the Altair library, while also serving as an introduction to coding in Python. We’ll cover Python basics before diving into DataFrames, HTTP requests, JSON, and other data storage styles, and data visualizations.

We welcome anyone who wants to create simple to make, yet beautiful and professional-looking data visualizations. No prior coding experience needed.

ORGANIZERS: Vagelos Computational Science Center (CSC) at Barnard College, Cyber Collective

ABOUT OPEN DATA WEEK
Open Data Week is an annual festival of community-driven events organized and produced by the NYC Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics and BetaNYC. Every year, New Yorkers come together all across the five boroughs to celebrate New York City’s Open Data Law, which was signed into law on March 7, 2012. Coincidentally, the first weekend of March is also International Open Data Day.  With these dates anchoring Open Data Week, we rally NYC’s civic tech and open data communities and offer opportunities for more people to learn about and engage with municipal open data. https://www.open-data.nyc/
