Let us know you're attending on Meetup if you use it! - https://www.meetup.com/ctrl-h/events/294552367/

To the civic tech community, data analysts, open software developers, designers, advocates, community, and local organizations working on data, local residents and all those interested in civic data.

This event is an opportunity to engage with local residents to explore the City’s neighborhood data and other City of Portland open datasets and maps. This Disco Tech will include workshops and tables to help people to learn about data from zero to subject matter experts.

"DiscoTech" is short for "Discovering Technology." It is a term coined by the Detroit Digital Justice Coalition which defines a replicable model for a multimedia, mobile neighborhood workshop fair. DiscoTechs are designed so that participants learn more about the impact and possibilities of technology within our communities.

The purpose of this event is to create a space for local residents and organizations to explore Portland neighborhoods data and other city open datasets. You can explore developing apps or spreadsheets to facilitate data visualization. Or, do your own data exploration and analysis, enhance the city data with other datasets; Or, dig deeper and explore metadata and link information underneath.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn, propose ideas and projects to others, join a team or individually, and develop their own analysis and apps that may contribute to our larger Portland Community. Multicultural, socially responsible, and projects in languages other than English are encouraged.

The Smart City PDX program team members are committed to dismantling barriers derived from systemic discrimination that have reduced the voice of marginal communities in Portland. We base our approach on digital rights and equity principles like Targeted Universalism and the Smart City PDX Priorities Framework to build local policy that promotes equity and fairness.

We want this event to become a collaborative space, rather than something competitive. So, we won’t be offering prizes or awards; however, we will be able to incentivize community participation.

Projects will have the opportunity to be featured in the Smart City PDX site.

Be creative! Learn! Explore!

PDX connections, what are your plans for February 16th? Join my friends and me at Climate Curious for a fun interactive event that will connect you with a wide range of bright minds from across #Portland's #climate, #tech, and #design communities.

We're collaborating with Fresh Consulting to create a totally different kind of networking event. Expect brain-tickling conversations about climate, and active problem-solving, with of course some drinks and snacks. RSVP here: www.climatecurious.co

We're collaborating with Fresh Consulting to bring Portland's climate, design, and tech communities together around a fun rapid-fire creative challenge that is unlike any networking event you've ever been to before.

OHSU is joining forces with MIT Hacking Medicine and more than 20 academic and industry partners for the inaugural OHSU Invent-a-thon, a virtual health care hackathon, October 23–25, 2020.

Open to anyone in the world, our event will convene hundreds of innovation enthusiasts – from thought leaders to students - in health care, engineering, research, business, and design to build impactful medtech and digital health solutions to pressing challenges in:

• Surgical Care
• Early Disease Detection
• Rural Health
• Management of Chronic Conditions
• Health Equity

How does a virtual health care hackathon work? During the Invent-a-thon, participants will choose a specific problem within their track and work virtually within interdisciplinary teams to brainstorm and build a solution to this problem. Teams can use all tools at their disposal and will receive expert guidance from our mentors and sponsors as they develop their solutions. At the end of the Invent-a-thon, teams pitch their solutions to a panel of judges to compete for $40,000 in prizes.

Teams emerging from the Invent-a-thon will have a chance to receive continuing mentorship and access to support and resources in order to realize their solution and create real-world impact.

Attendance is free for all accepted applicants. Let’s make healthcare better! Applications are due October 14 (apply at Inventathon.org).

Panel and Discussion on Working Remote and Creating Community

As the COVID-19 situation evolves, many of our offices have issued voluntary, recommended, or mandatory work-from-home guidance. While some of us already work from home and some of us are new to it, we are all adjusting to new situations with partners, kids, pets and housemates. We are also readjusting to a new way of socialization with virtual coffees and happy hours.

Our panel will discuss their tactics for working at home or remotely.We will talk about how we have adjusted schedules and environments to accommodate kids and other folks at home with us. Then we will discuss ideas on how to create community and stay connected while practicing social distancing. We will then open it up for Q&A and discussion. We also want to hear from you, since this is a new situation for all of us and none of us have all the answers.
