9.  The Purdue IronHacks Experience

10. INTRODUCTION
 Initiative to create openness in Government to ensure public trust and establish a system of
transparency, public participation, and collaboration (President Obama, 2009).
WHAT IS OPEN GOVERNMENT AND OPEN DATA?
The Open Data Movement is here… just search
Open data have become an
important source of digital
innovation (www.data.gov)

11. IronHacks is not your ordinary hackathon; its an iterative learning experience
Traditional ‘Hackathons’ The Purdue IronHacks
36 hrs of high energy; less creativity.
~ 20 days: 5x high-energy hacking + time for
creativity
Proprietary code: no sharing with others. Open access: shared and can build on others’ code.
Mentorship during the 36 hrs;
Feedback on final solution.
7 iterations: hackers get valuable technical, market,
and user feedback from experts; constant guidance.
Constant physical presence and interaction.
Virtual presence and communication;
hackers can work on problems when they wish.
GOAL:
Facilitate entrepreneurial individuals to turn open data into digital
innovations (mash-ups) that create value for citizens.
PURDUE IRONHACKS EXPERIENCE

12. INNOVATE WITH OPEN DATA: Create a novel, cool, and performative mash-up
embedded in a website that helps users solve a problem.
OUTPERFORM & LEARN FROM OTHERS: IronHacks is a competition, but you also get
feedback and learn from others.
HACK VIRTUALLY & MEET PHYSICALLY: We offer training on open data, APIs, and
programming (HTML, CSS, javascript basics, jQuery, D3.js) through active learning.
GAIN FAME IN MANY WAYS: Learn, improve your score, gain reputation and win a prize.
7 cycles: hack, breathe, learn, iterate, and win...

18. The task you had to engage in: Find a safe and affordable place to live in NEW YORK CITY
Imagine you are living in New York City (NY) as a new student at NYU Stern School of Business and you
want help others that have no knowledge about the city to find an area to live that is safe, affordable
and close to the university.”
TASK: Develop a mashup that integrates, analyses and interactively displays open data in order to support new
students to evaluate and rank the 59 habitable districts in New York. Your mashup should allow the new students
to rank and compare the various districts using a diverse set of decision parameters. Your app should allow students to
find the top 10 districts in New York City based single parameters ranking and the top 3 districts based on average of
the three following parameters:
1. Safety
2. Distance to NYU Stern School of Business (Note: the distance must be from the center of the district to NYU Stern
School of Business).
3. Affordability (Note: affordability levels of a district are based on the maximum number of low income defined
by New York City).
“Find me a safe and affordable district to live in near the NYU Stern School of
Business, New York.”

20. TECHNOLOGY
• Has a low number of
errors (relative to the
size of the app)
• Meets minimum
technical
requirements
ANALYTICS
• Combine different
datasets in a novel ways
to create new metrics
and mathematical
models
INFORMATION
VISUALIZATION
• Affords recognizable
interactions
• Reduces cognitive
work load (option)
• Minimal reliance on
memory
• Meets minimum
user requirements
We use a rigorous and objective evaluation methodology: We used automated tools
and trained experts to assess your app
