Hackathon for Make-With-Data: Mapping Mental Health

about this event

Get ready to dive deep into data and tackle mental health challenges head-on at our Hackathon - it's time to Make-With-Data!

Make-With-Data supports the research of community-based challenges, primarily related to local conservation, sustainability, and mental health. The workshops are full of activities that align real world challenges with data sources and scientific methods to explore solutions that simultaneously teach important mapping and data science skills.

DNM Geospatial is assisting Edenas Children to obtain a baseline for understanding the state of mental health in NYC and how it correlates with environmental, socioeconomic and demographic variables. The Make-With-Data: Mapping Mental Health workshop series is culminating with this Hackathon to engage the community to make maps that visualize what we have researched so far. We feel it's important to not only share this information with the community but to engage them in the skills required to do so.

This Hackathon is intended to get the community to participate in making maps based on data that we found suitable, for the purpose of establishing a baseline understanding of the state of mental health in NYC. All are welcome. Beginners encouraged. Folks can participate individually or as part of a team. Bring your own laptop.

Location details shared after registration. All donations are used for make with data program materials and curriculum development.

Highlights: 3 hours, in person. Refund Policy: No refunds.
