In the fall of 2024, the MTA launched its first ever Open Data Challenge, calling on members of the public to build something cool and interesting with an open dataset on data.ny.gov. The datasets used and a description of each project is available in this blog post. In a lightning round of presentations, you'll hear for all finalists in the challenge who explored MTA open data and used it in creative ways!
The presenters in this hour include: - Are NYC Subway Stops Ready for Every Student? – Huda Ayaz, Olivia Fratangelo, and Taseen Islam - The Museum of Transversal Art – Bianca Ng - Lately on the MTA – Noah Gunther - If you Give a Rat a MetroCard – Will Meyers - Subway Stories – Jediah Katz and Marc Zitelli
