Description
Data literacy skills are extremely important, yet it is still lacking in many Indigenous communities across Canada due to systemic barriers faced by Indigenous peoples. Hackathons have been used as a common approach to promote data literacy. However, hackathons are socio-technical innovation processes in which local cultures and values play a role in their conduct and outcomes. Hackathons that are designed with Indigenous cultures and values in mind can be more effective at promoting data literacy for Indigenous peoples, yet there is limited guidance on how to do so. In this paper, we adopt the Action Design Research approach and Indigenous research methods to collaboratively develop and deliver culturally appropriate hackathons to increase data literacy within Indigenous communities. During this process we will also co-develop a suite of design principles to guide the design of these hackathons.

Designing Culturally Appropriate Hackathons to Increase Data Literacy in Indigenous Communities
Data literacy skills are extremely important, yet it is still lacking in many Indigenous communities across Canada due to systemic barriers faced by Indigenous peoples. Hackathons have been used as a common approach to promote data literacy. However, hackathons are socio-technical innovation processes in which local cultures and values play a role in their conduct and outcomes. Hackathons that are designed with Indigenous cultures and values in mind can be more effective at promoting data literacy for Indigenous peoples, yet there is limited guidance on how to do so. In this paper, we adopt the Action Design Research approach and Indigenous research methods to collaboratively develop and deliver culturally appropriate hackathons to increase data literacy within Indigenous communities.
