The will begin with a brief overview of how NYC Open Data was integrated into the classroom and how students moved from research question to public-facing publication, followed by short lightning talks from participating students, each presenting his or her project, dataset, analysis approach, and key findings. Attendees will gain insight into how real civic datasets can be used in higher education to build technical skills, critical thinking, and meaningful public scholarship.

This session is ideal for educators, civic technologists, students, and anyone interested in public data, reproducible research, or innovative teaching approaches. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for incorporating NYC Open Data into their own classrooms or projects—and examples of how student work can move beyond traditional assignments to become lasting, shareable contributions to the civic data ecosystem.
