Learn, build, and help shape how Cambridge uses data. Whether you’re a neighbor, student, educator, researcher, or developer, we invite you to join the Cambridge Open Data community. Here are a few ways to do that:
Learn with us: classes & workshops
Free, hands-on sessions at the Library and on Zoom. No prior experience required.
Check our calendar for upcoming open data events.
Attend an Open Data Review Board meeting
Our quarterly public meetings are where open data decisions happen. Come listen, ask questions, or share what data would help you.
Check our calendar for upcoming meetings or review previous meeting notes.
Invite us to your school
We visit classrooms, after‑school clubs, and college courses. We can tailor to your curriculum.
