Scoping is the initial step of implementing a data or tech solution. ScopeAthons create a space for students and community leaders to outline solutions to local civic problems and work on them through a day filled with technical guidance, workshops, and presentations. This year’s theme is “Building Vibrant Neighborhoods.” Student teams who will compete to develop innovative data-oriented solutions to participating organizations' civic challenges. Teams will be comprised of students, community members and civic leaders.; each team will then present their proposed solutions on Saturday evening to a panel of judges comprised of civic and technological leaders throughout the City. Participants will come from a variety of backgrounds, including, but not limited to scholars in computer science, political science, public policy, economics, and practitioners of civic innovation and community organizing, etc. Only 7 of these hours can go towards in-fraternity hours, but the extra 3 can count as external hours, if you'd like!
