What is Evidence House?

Led by the 10 Downing Street Data Science team, we radically upskill civil servants in data science, development and AI whilst delivering innovative solutions to crowdsourced problems.

How do we do this?

  • Upskill Civil Servants en-masse through large scale bootcamps. In our first year we have delivered 17.500 hours of in-person upskilling to over 1,000 members
  • Bring this community together, put them in teams and have them compete to generate new solutions and insights to priority problems through multi-day hackathons.
  • Develop and deliver the best ideas from our hackathons, by deploying members of our talented community on to them.

 

 

Our Approach:

Our mission is to radically upskill our people whilst solving some of government’s thorniest problems through collective innovation.

Our approach has three distinct components:

1. Upskill

We deliver exceptional learning and development to members, from introductory courses in programming to engineering and machine learning bootcamps.

2. Hack

We bring skilled Civil Servants together and have them compete to generate new solutions to priority problems.

3. Build 

We the best ideas from our hacks and deploy our members on to delivery sprints where they work alongside 10DS and No10 Innovation Fellows.
