[Michlib-l] community data analysis workshop 4/11/2015 @ U of Michigan School of Info

[Kristin Fontichiaro]

*POSTED ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF INFORMATION'S ANN
ARBOR DATA DIVE GROUP:*

On behalf of the entire Ann Arbor Data Dive community here at the
University of Michigan School of Information, I would like to cordially
invite you and your organization to attend our new spring workshop, Data
Dive: Unboxed.

A data dive is an event that brings together local non-profits and
community members to work with data sets in context.


   - Curious about how to run a data dive in your community?
   - Want to know how your organization can benefit from participating in a
   data dive?
   - Just interested in knowing more about what community data work looks
   like?

Data Dive: Unboxed is an event to answer all of these questions and more!

The workshop will be an event to bring together students, area non-profit
organizations and other community members who are interested in either
running a data dive or participating in a data dive.

It will be partially in an unconference format to foster discussion between
different stakeholders about what makes an effective data dive, both from a
client side and an organizer's perspective. The 2014 A2 Data Dive
organizers will run two sessions:


   1. a moderated panel discussion between organizers, participants and
   data professionals
   2. a session featuring hands-on activities designed to give people a
   better sense of what community data work can look like beyond spreadsheets


*No prior experience in data or organizing necessary!*


Date - Saturday, April 11, 2015

Time - 10 am - 4:30 pm. The first session starts at 10:30 am.

Cost - $12/participant (including transaction fee). Includes lunch and
coffee!

Location - Space 2435, North Quad, 105 S State St (between Washington and
Huron), Ann Arbor

If financial concerns are an issue, please contact the organizers (
datadiveorganizers at umich.edu) and we can work out an accommodation.
