Overview
Descriptathon 6 (Aug. 18-20, 2020)
August 09, 2020 through August 11, 2020
A Descriptathon is a hackathon-like collaborative competition designed to create more-inclusive public places. This one – Descriptathon 6 – will be offered Aug. 18-20, 2020, online – via www.unidescription.org – and through connected conference calls. The participants this time are mostly from U.S. National Park Service sites around the National Mall in Washington, D.C., plus special guests from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Parks Canada. This activity happens in a walled garden, under standard research protocols, to protect the anonymity of the participants. Yet it also is a public research project, with its findings shared liberally. For participants, all of the connective details (such as the conference call numbers, and project details) can be found on your Descriptathon 6 project link, within UniD. Through this sort of process, the UniD research team has helped to make more than 100 U.S. National Park Service sites more accessible.
