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.

“I’m really excited to be here. I couldn’t be more supportive of this community. And I’m particularly excited to hear how we can actually break a few things in the interest of doing something that we collectively want to achieve.”

“You all save lives in multiple ways, often in ways you don’t realise. If someone has a good idea… and it’s not backed up by good data and good testing, based on really rigorous analysis, it’s almost certainly going to be less good than they think at best… and in some cases cause active harm.”
