HubHacks 2 is a data visualization challenge managed by the City of Boston. We’re asking developers, designers, and data scientists to find new insights in urban data and show them in inviting, understandable, and thought-provoking ways.
Building on our successful open data portal, the City will provide brand new data sets that touch on important parts of life and business in Boston. HubHackers will be asked to:
- Connect City data and other public data sets to create more contextualized understanding of our progress towards the goal of a thriving, healthy and innovative city.
- Craft innovative visualizations that highlight trends, opportunities, and decision points, providing deeper insight for the City and better transparency to citizens.
- Find valuable insights that will help business owners, residents and students who call Boston home.
- Create visualizations that support a conversation between City government and the community around important topics.
- We’re looking to present interesting Boston data in unique places in the City.
The challenge will kick-off on March 14th at District Hall with a full day event to help participants learn about the data sets and the prizes. The challenge will run for three weeks with winners announced on April 4th at Faneuil Hall.
