The list of projects we’re working on is always changing! Here are a few of our past and current projects:
Civic Tech DC’s data portal is a public data catalog for and by the people of Washington, DC. It complements the catalog maintained by the city government at opendata.dc.gov, which houses official municipal data. Explore, upload, download and analyze!
A project to explain DC’s hyperlocal Advisory Neighborhood Commission system by pulling information scattered across the web into one place.
In collaboration with our local NPR affiliate, WAMU, we built a map to display the results of Washington DC’s 2014 General Election. The map includes results for Mayor, Attorney General, and Initiative 71.
Founded in 2012, Civic Tech DC is a non-partisan, non-political group of volunteer civic hackers working together to solve local issues in the Washington, DC area and helping people engage with the city. We host twice-monthly hacknights and other events to gather, discuss, and get stuff done.
We're looking to bring people with all different skill sets together to maximize our potential. Civic hackers aren't just developers — they're journalists, lawyers, designers, and interested citizens in general. The more community participation, the better.
