Recap: #CodeAcross / Open Data Day

This weekend, we were beyond impressed to have hundreds of civic tech leaders (and newcomers) join us for #CodeAcross and Open Data Day. We kicked off with a conversation with New York City’s Chief Analytics Officer, Dr. Amen Ra Mashariki, at our headquarters, then continued over the weekend with hackathons, workshops and more at Civic Hall.

Our team was happy to take home three special awards for #AthenaCivic, a network visualization tool organizing and categorizing local civic tech entities.

See below for some of the top tweets of the weekend. Thank you to all who joined us in hacking, conversation, and fun!
