Hear how reforms led by the Assessor’s data science team have delivered $1.9 billion in property tax savings for owners of lower and middle-priced homes.Learn how a single transparency tool, known as PTAXSIM created three legislative wins. Get insight on the expanded public data catalog including what assessment data is now available to the public and how it can be used.Whether you’re a data scientist, civic technologist, academic researcher, or simply interested in using technology for public good, learn how assessment data can inform policy decisions. and inspire new tools to help make Cook County a more vibrant place to live, work, and thrive.What happens at a hack night?Every week, we have a 45 minute presentation by a government agency, non-profit, company or group who've made use of open data or built a civic technology application. The goal of these presentations is to showcase the different uses and opportunities, as well as challenges and successes in the civic technology movement.After the presentation, the format of the event is similar to that of a hackathon where breakout groups self-organize to work on civic apps, discuss policies and their implications, learn technical skills and network with a welcoming and diverse community at the intersection of technology and government.But I'm not a techie!That's ok! We encourage non-technical folks to pair up and learn from our community's designers and developers. We've seen time and time again, the best civic projects come from teams with a diverse background.Remember, there's much more to making a great app than just coding.ASL interpreting availableIf you have need for an American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter, let us know when you register for the event and we will provide one, provided enough lead time.Questions about the event?
