[open-data-day] Open Data Day - Mountain View, CA [Open Science/Data Education Course Sprint]

[Billy Meinke]

Hey Emma-  Yes, glad you mentioned the Webmaker/youth side of Open
Science/Data.  Though it'd not fully sketched up yet, one of the modules we
will build out will likely involve reaching out to the science community by
finding citizen science projects, the next step beyond that involving
designing experiments using an open framework like PyBossa.  This kind of
thing is still a little beyond what typical youth can do on their own, but
exposure to open tools for science (and developing more user-friendly
tools, too) is always a good thing.

Ping me aside this list if you think more collaboration can happen around
Open Data Day.  Thanks :)
