| Worlds We Carry: What Should We Bring to Space? | Worlds We Carry is a participatory mapping project framed through the metaphor of space travel, asking: if we were to leave Earth, what would we bring with us? New Yorkers are invited to reflect on the places they would carry into the future by contributing personal stories tied to meaningful locations across NYC. Using NYC Open Data datasets ( including the Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) dataset and the Parks Properties Map ), the project layers lived experience onto public space data to create a collective map of care, memory, and value, revealing emotional and cultural dimensions often absent from traditional maps. This activation is located on the Second Floor at CUNY School of Law near the Cafe. Worlds We Carry is a collaboration between Aurélie Barbier (Space To the People) and Anna Zhang Aurélie Barbier is a city planner and designer using digital mapping to nurture civic imagination. She has led urban planning and data projects for the World Bank and presented visualizations at Data Through Design (DxD) that reveal the poetic potential of data. Anna Zhang is an artist and creative technologist exploring our relationship with technology. Currently an artist-in-residence at NEW INC, her award-winning work has been featured in Forbes and exhibited at the National Museum of American History and Gray Area. |

| Does this Building Suck (Energy)? Decoding Building Performance with Open Data | What can Energy Performance data tell us about the buildings around us? Through analysis and reporting such as LL84 Energy Score cards, we have a better understanding of how more sustainable design improves energy performance. This demonstration uses New York City Public Open Datasets documenting Building Energy Efficiency Ratings, which can be seen posted at the entrances to large buildings throughout the city. This session is hosted by a professor, a digital technology specialist, and a librarian at the New York Institute of Technology, who will explore the aggregated data sets provided through NYC Open Data to create Building Performance averages by type, borough, and square footage. Through a series of case studies and demonstrations we will learn the factors that drive these energy grades, such as types of heating and cooling systems, evidence of renovation, building square footage and relevant fiscal penalties. Attendees will be guided through accessing relevant city data, simplified pivot tables and visualization tools to help them investigate performance of the buildings in their chosen local. | Individuals: Clarke Snell, Associate Professor, School of Architecture and Design, New York Institute of Technology; Elijah Williams, Digital Technology Specialist, School of Architecture and Design, New York Institute of Technology; Vanessa Viola, Art & Architecture Librarian, Art & Architecture Library, New York Institute of Technology | Organizations: Simulated and Measured Environments Lab, School of Architecture and Design, New York Institute of Technology | 2026 | NYC Building Energy and Water Data Disclosure for Local Law 84 2023 to Present (Data for Calendar Year 2022-Present) [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/5zyy-y8am] | NYC School of Data Conference Session | Presentation | — |
| The Future of the Unhoused: Equity-Aware Forecasts & Interactive Maps of NYC Homelessness | Join us for a practical, data-driven look at the future of homelessness risk in New York City. In this session, four NYC students (Rohan Ramnarain, Marilyn Echeverria, Kevin Guillermo, and Alice Dong) will present three predictive models that forecast which NYC neighborhoods may face the greatest risk of increased homelessness over the next few years, and what the signals behind those predictions suggest for prevention and response. Participants will spend the time in a live, interactive demo, exploring how the models work and how outputs can be interpreted, followed by an open Q&A with the presenters. This event is designed for anyone who cares about homelessness in New York City, including advocates, service providers, policy folks, community leaders, researchers, and residents who want to understand how predictive algorithms can support earlier and more targeted interventions. | Individuals: Rohan Ramnarain, Graduate Student, CUNY Graduate Center; Marilyn Echeverria, Undergraduate Student, Queens College; Kevin Guillermo, Undergraduate Student, Hunter College; Alice Dong, Undergraduate Student, Stony Brook University | 2026 | 311 Service Requests from 2020 to Present [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/erm2-nwe9], Housing Maintenance Code Complaints and Problems [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/ygpa-z7cr], Evictions [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/6z8x-wfk4] | NYC School of Data Conference Session | Demonstration | — |

| Introducing Risk Radar NYC: A New Tool for Monitoring Building Safety & Landlord Risk | How can we use open data to ensure our neighbors are safe and landlords are held accountable? Join Joel Guerrero for a showcase of Risk Radar NYC, a new digital tool that aggregates data on DOB violations, HPD complaints, and eviction histories to reveal the true condition of New York City buildings. This project empowers tenants and council members to identify neglected properties and demand adherence to safety and ethical standards. Participants will spend this session getting hands-on with the tool. A moderator will provide access to the live app, guiding the room through its core functionalities and demonstrating how to search for and interpret critical building data. You will learn how to spot "high-risk" properties and use this data to advocate for safer living conditions. This presentation is open to everyone but will be particularly valuable for housing advocates, community organizers, and tenants. If you are looking to learn more about tenant rights, building safety, or how to leverage technology for civic accountability, this event is for you. | Individuals: Joel Guerrero, UI/UX Engineer, Simons Foundation | 2026 | Housing Maintenance Code Violations [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/wvxf-dwi5], DOB Violations [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/3h2n-5cm9], 311 Service Requests from 2020 to Present [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/erm2-nwe9], Evictions [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/6z8x-wfk4] | NYC School of Data Conference Session | Lightning Talk | — |

| Invisible by Design: What NYC Child Welfare Data Reveals and Erases About South Asian Families | How can data both illuminate and obscure reality? In this interactive session, attorney and community advocate Shivani Parikh offers a critical look at NYC’s child welfare datasets, particularly the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) demographic data and explores how racial aggregation obscures the lived experiences of South Asian American families. Participants will learn how Asian American children appear at key stages of the child welfare system and why the absence of disaggregated South Asian data has real consequences for families navigating investigations, foster care, and termination of parental rights proceedings. This event blends data literacy with community context. Shivani will share insights from her culturally responsive family defense guide, highlighting how open data can support ethical policymaking, culturally responsive court reforms, and Know Your Rights education for immigrant parents. Participants can expect a data-informed presentation followed by a facilitated discussion in which attendees will reflect on how to responsibly interpret child welfare data and advocate for greater transparency. Ideal for civic technologists, policymakers, legal advocates, researchers, and community organizers, this session invites participants to rethink the role of open data in shaping public narratives and policy outcomes. No technical background is required, just curiosity about how data equity can strengthen accountability and protect families! | Individuals: Shivani Parikh, Director, South Asian Legal Defense Fund | 2026 | — | NYC School of Data Conference Session | Presentation | Demographics of Children and Parents at Steps in the Child Welfare System, FY 2025 (www.nyc.gov/assets/acs/pdf/data-analysis/2025/demographics-of-children-and-parents-at-steps-in-the-child-welfare-system-fy2025.pdf) |
| Revamping the NY Open Government Site to Connect Contributions, Contracts, and Lobbying | The New York Open Government site nyopengovernment.com developed by The Office of the New York State Attorney General provides and connects data from several New York State agencies, including data on campaign contributions and expenditures, lobbyist disclosures, government contracts, and registered charities. In theory, this tool allows people to find entities across these datasets. But we're facing challenges in keeping the site relevant and useful (for example, currently the data on the site is out of date). I'll talk about the current state of the tool and then I'd like to hear from you: - do/would you use this tool? What for? - what functionality would you want to see in this tool? - what datasets are we missing? - what similar tools could we learn from? - in what ways can we collaborate on developing and maintaining this tool (e.g. as an open source project)? If you could use a way to find connections between campaign contributions, contracts and lobbying, or you'd like to help build a tool to find such connections, please join and bring your thoughts to share! | Individuals: Gautam Sisodia, Deputy Director, Research and Analytics Department, The Office of the New York State Attorney General | Organizations: The Office of the New York State Attorney General | 2026 | — | NYC School of Data Conference Session | Other | NYS lobbying data (https://ethics.ny.gov/public-data) |
