What can we learn from 2.3 million Taxi Rides? What can we do with mileage records from millions of vehicles? This is a hackathon themed session that introduces two major big data challenges occurring in the Boston area this winter, the MIT Big Data Challenge, and the MAPC Big Data Challenge. Come to be introduced to the challenges by the organizers, work on your visualization submission, and share knowledge, code, and visualization techniques with experts in the field and around MIT. The first session is to introduce the challenges, download the data, and get started on your project. The second is provided to receive expert feedback and continue collaboration. Bring your own laptop.
