*POSTED ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF INFORMATION'S ANN ARBOR DATA DIVE GROUP:* On behalf of the entire Ann Arbor Data Dive community here at the University of Michigan School of Information, I would like to cordially invite you and your organization to attend our new spring workshop, Data Dive: Unboxed. A data dive is an event that brings together local non-profits and community members to work with data sets in context. - Curious about how to run a data dive in your community? - Want to know how your organization can benefit from participating in a data dive? - Just interested in knowing more about what community data work looks like? Data Dive: Unboxed is an event to answer all of these questions and more! The workshop will be an event to bring together students, area non-profit organizations and other community members who are interested in either running a data dive or participating in a data dive. It will be partially in an unconference format to foster discussion between different stakeholders about what makes an effective data dive, both from a client side and an organizer's perspective. The 2014 A2 Data Dive organizers will run two sessions: 1. a moderated panel discussion between organizers, participants and data professionals 2. a session featuring hands-on activities designed to give people a better sense of what community data work can look like beyond spreadsheets *No prior experience in data or organizing necessary!* Date - Saturday, April 11, 2015 Time - 10 am - 4:30 pm. The first session starts at 10:30 am. Cost - $12/participant (including transaction fee). Includes lunch and coffee! Location - Space 2435, North Quad, 105 S State St (between Washington and Huron), Ann Arbor If financial concerns are an issue, please contact the organizers ( datadiveorganizers@umich.edu) and we can work out an accommodation.
