If you ask the question\, "\;Who's hungry?"\;: \;\n \;\nThe answer is kids. \;\n \;\n The data is clear\, but the reality is hard. We've made a dyn amic program to explore systemic causes of hunger at home by placing a s pecial focus on resources available to families with young children incl uding regional cost of living\, state benefit programs\, and inequalitie s local schools districts. \;\n \;\n \;\n"\;Behind the Curt ain” \;\nCampaign Finance \;\n \;\nWe're lifting the veil off e lection politics with a fascinating high-level view of influence and mon ey in Oregon's election cycles. \;\n \;\nHack Oregon has the only machine readable database for local campaign finance in the country\, an d we've learned that influence is as much about relationships as it abou t dollars. And at the local level\, your vote matters \;\nA LOT. \;\n \;\nThis year\, we've added new meta-data to reveal effects of industry buy-in and individual patronage during an election cycle... with a few surprises. Unlock the real story behind politics and feel ul tra-empowered as a voter this November. \;\n \;\n“Plot PDX” \; \nUrban Development \;\n \;\nData can tell us a lot about our neig hborhoods. At a time when Portland is experiencing rapid growth and chan ge\, it's more important than ever that all communities have equal acces s to information that can inform decisions about the future of our city. \;\n \;\nWe're giving the community access to a range of data whi ch has never been available on one platform. Explore Portland's neighbo rhoods as you've never seen them before\, on topics that you care about\ , like demolitions\, crime\, and the rising cost of rent. \;\n \; \n“Crop Compass"\; \;\nAgriculture \;\n \;\n In the Pacific Northwest\, we live in one of the most rich biospheres in the world\, w ith global demand for Oregon grown products. We have the ability to prod uce a wide range of food in Oregon\, but we're far from self-sustaining. \;\n \;\nHow much of our regional vitality is retained inside of Oregon\, and how much do we ship out? How do our economic and environmen tal factors work together to shape our food system? We've created a too l that gives insight into multi-dimensional patterns across land use\, c rop diversity\, subsidies\, seasonality\, and import/export trends to h elp understand more about the mechanics of how food gets from farm to ta ble. \;\n \;\n"\;Programming to Progress"\; \;\nEducati on \;\n \;\nAcross Oregon\, some schools are lucky enough to have free or low-cost summer school programming and/or after school programmi ng--- and the playing field is not level. \;\n \;\n How much of a difference does after school and summer school programming make for earl y literacy\, attendance\, and future academic success of students? Hack Oregon has the first aggregate statewide analysis of the link between pe rformance and expanded programming\, with some surprising implications o f region-wide impact that goes beyond the classroom. \n\nTags: Hack Oreg on\, open data\, demo\, data visualization\n\nImported from: http://cala gator.org/events/1250470404 URL:http://datadispatches.eventbrite.com SUMMARY:Dispatches from the Data Frontier: Hack Oregon Demo Night!!
