The Barcelona Open Data Challenge aims to promote the use of open data in the city's educational centers, encouraging the analytical and critical vision of students and also empowering them with new technological tools.
This pilot aims to place Barcelona as a leader in the introduction of knowledge of open data in the educational field.
The objective of this act tis that schools can share the projects and the methodology used for their development. The students have analyzed their environment with the information available on the Open Data BCN portal and have proposed improvement actions that they will defend. Now is the time to recognize the work and effort of all participants, both students and teachers.
After presenting the projects and while the jury deliberates, we have scheduled a playful activity by Arsgames, a non-profit international organization. We will show you "Juegos del Común", a data-giveaway project that is based on the idea of data games, giving visibility to a new use of open data.
Finally, the winning group of the Barcelona Open Data Challenge First edition_2018 will be announced and the municipal authority will deliver the prize and convene the Barcelona Open Data Challenge Second edition_2019
All the class of the winning group in this contest will enjoy an experience in a data analysis company where you can discover and learn how to use data to bring science to business in order to solve real quantifiable problems. That's another challenge.
Apart from students, teachers and the jury, there will also be different people from the municipal organization and responsible for the datasets published on the Open Data BCN portal. Among the attendees we will find developers, data journalists, scientists, researchers ... all interested in this innovative initiative.
If you are an educational center that did not participate in this edition and would like to attend this event, do not hesitate to contact us. Capacity is limited and you must request prior attendance through this form.
