We partner up mission-driven organizations and experts in data science to find solutions for social problems.
Data science and predictive analytics are causing a lot of innovation in the private sector. Nonprofits lack technological progress. We want to close that gap and set the stage for data scientists to contribute their expertise.
Our vision is an impact oriented and data informed society.
- Screening of NPOs & volunteers
- Selection of NPOs and matching with volunteers
- Two- to three-month preparation (problem definition, cleaning and joining of data sources)
- Data Dive – finding solutions with the support of the data science community
- follow-up & implementation
At a weekend event the data science community partners up with our selected NPOs to solve their data problems collaboratively.
The event creates attention among data scientists and social organizations alike and enables wide participation.
It’s free for data scientists.
It’s happening on October 24-25, 2015.
We will help two nonprofit organisations: Jambo Bukoba and Streetfootballworld.
Our volunteers are currently preparing the data.
Jambo Bukoba committed itself to empower children in Tanzania through sports. The program offers perspectives and encourages children to improve their academic achievements. Additionally it educates about HIV/AIDS.
DSSG Berlin will help to visualize the impact of the program with open data and internal data to inform perspectives on future expansion.
Streetfootballworld is an international umbrella organization for nonprofits in the field of social change through football.
With http://www.unleashfootball.com they want to collect more than 100.000 ideas on the question „How can we make the greatest game a greater source for good?“.
DSSG will help to gain insights from these thousands of answers (e.g. through NLP and topic models).
To be able to harvest the positive impact, we need partners that carry the cost of the Data Dives. Costs include the venue, equipment and catering for the data scientists.
