Canʼt We Get These Two Together?

SLIDE 7

A pro bono data scientist exchange
Socially conscious data scientists work short or

long-term with non-profits/NGOs in both fellowship and contract form.

Deals with all parts of the data pipeline:
collection
management
analysis
visualization
privacy/access

SLIDE 8

Goals

Immediate Assistance: Help NGOs who donʼt have

the resources to analyze their data on their own.

Skill Transfer: Train NGOs in proper data collection,

management, analysis techniques for future projects.

Create Community: Show NGOs the power of data

and the importance of opening it and sharing it with the broader community.

SLIDE 9

Process

Long term
Fellowships: 6-12 month permanent placements
Sponsored company time: Googleʼs 20%, but for

pro bono work.

Remote spare time: Weeknights / weekends
Short term
Datadives: Weekend long collaborations with a

small set of NGOs on their data problems.

SLIDE 10

Datadives

NGOs bring their data, and excited data hackers bring their ideas.

Quick Wins: Only 24-48 hours, so weʼre looking to help bring

quick insights to groups with good data.

Not a “hackathon”: End result doesnʼt have to be software.

Could be a visualization, a statistical analysis, a consultation, an API, etc.

Collaborative: NGOs donʼt just throw data over the wall - work on

teams with data experts.

Educational: By working together, the NGO and data scientist

communities learn from each other through open discourse.
