WizardMaker

Project Lead: Paul Tynan

Project Contact: [email protected]

The purpose of this system is to make it much easier to create high quality, computer-assisted, step-by-step instructions (commonly called wizards). We have some preliminary evidence that sustainability groups and other non-profits would benefit from such a tool. It is quite possible that we will not come up with a design that allows most content experts, relatively unskilled with computers, to easily create a wizard. So before we code, we will investigate proposed designs and try to determine the feasibility of the project.

Code for Tucson gathered on the University of Arizona campus on June 4, 2016 to take part in the National Day of Civic Hacking 2016, a special event coordinated through Code for America, to work on community-centered projects.

City SDK

Project Lead: Andrew Slattery and Corey Bishop

Project Contact: @aslattery

This project was launched in response to the City SDK Challenge from Code for America’s Hack For Change initiative. Our goal is to develop an open-source web application to allow local leaders, agencies, and citizens to easily cross-examine data from federal, state, county, and city sources. One example we built was a tool to compare the locations of farmer’s markets against the average household income of various regions in the Tucson metro area, illustrating potential food deserts.

Based on feedback and suggestions from community members, Tucson would really love to see �One Calendar to Rule Them All.’ We’re working to creatively solve the distributed community events problem (web scraping, Elasticsearch and intuitive UI, anyone?).
