Data hackers in the greater Boston area! MIT invites you to sign up to participate in the DataRescue @ MIT hackathon. You'll be challenged to identify, download, process, and mirror federal research data that is at risk of being taken down or obscured by the current administration. Your level of technical background does not matter . Everyone's welcome to help with tasks including browsing websites to identify data sets, building scripts to scrape data, verifying data integrity, and loading the rescued data to mirrors.
