Training Civic Technologists on Data Use #38

I'm glad to see the emphasis on Open Data for this project, and allowing communities to take ownership of the AoT data. It's also reassuring to go through your workshop PDF and see the level of detail in the data documentation as well as the API Access via Plenario. Of course, these are necessary but not sufficient conditions for citizens to analyze and make inferences based on the downloaded data. What partnerships (if any) are in place with organizations like TechChange, School of Data, etc to train non-profits or local citizen bodies on the basics of data science? How do you plan to ensure that this movement sustains its momentum?
