About the Lab
What We Build
Every project is publicly accessible, builds on Open Data and has the association's support along the way. We work in three areas:
-
Data Engineering
We build tools and applications that put Open Data to use.
-
Data Storytelling
We turn Open Data into visualisations, dashboards and stories that make it understandable to the world.
-
Education
We create courses, workshops and learning material around Open Data.
