[School-of-data] Mapping the Well-Being of Children in the District of Columbia

Tue Jun 11 16:54:19 UTC 2013

New on the School of Data Blog: A great example of some amazing work being
done in the states, a bit of inspiration for us all!

"Last year, DC Action for Children, in partnership with DataKind and a
group of dedicated pro-bono data scientists, created an interactive,
web-based tool to take traditional child well-being indicators “beyond the
PDF book” and into the exciting realm of visualizing and communicating data
for collective action."

We're looking for lots more case studies like this, where data = social
change - if you know of any, please don't hesitate to drop us a line on
schoolofdata at okfn.org.

All the best,

Lucy
