Data for Good Israel 🇮🇱

Data for Good is spreading worldwide and we want to bring it to the startup nation.

Why?

We want to use our technical skills to do « tikkun olam »!

Who we are?

Data for good is an organization that enables data enthusiasts to do social good. You are a Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Developer, Designer or Project Manager? Join us!

What do we do?

We use the power of the algorithms to solve social problems. The use-cases where data science can have an impact are endless: education, employment, real estate, immigration, etc.

Examples of Data for good projects around the world:

Chicago https://dssg.uchicago.edu/projects/

France https://dataforgood.fr/#projects (in French sorry :))

Seattle https://www.seattledataforgood.org/homelessness/ 

Some nice datasets https://github.com/jeremyatia/datasets-for-good

How we do it?Three types of meetup events:

• Ideas gathering/hackathons to generate as many ideas as possible to do social good.

• Presentation of the best ideas and team building.

• Presentation of the results from each team.

Meanwhile...You (or one of your friends) know an organization where you think that data science can have a socially good impact? You know any companies interested in hosting/ sponsoring?

You already have an idea to do social good?
