About Event

​Come see how AI can be used to help government deliver.

​At the State Capacity Ecosystem’s hackathons in June and September, teams of technologists and government practitioners prototyped 35 different tools to transform how government inclusively and equitably delivers services and improves public engagement. Three winning teams that have continued their work will showcase what they’ve built.

​The projects these teams will be demoing:

  • ​CityScroll builds navigation technology that helps small businesses and nonprofits go from “I don’t know where to start” to understanding city procurement information and knowing their next step.

  • ​Hearts & Minds helps government agencies understand constituents' needs by using behavioral data to reveal which communities are at risk of specific, solvable issues, demonstrating the scope of the issues that these communities might be facing, and then sourcing local social media content that describes the issue in community members' own words.

  • ​Budget Requests provides a central place to view budget requests and agency responses across Community Boards, by combining information that was previously scattered across Open Data and Register PDF documents.

​Brought to you by the State Capacity Ecosystem team and the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab with the simple goal of forging connections between government and technology.
