Micro Projects Workshop

Join us to learn how to participate in Micro Projects and begin the process of generating project ideas. Be inspired by presentations from previous projects and the resources that will be available.

Micro Projects have the following characteristics:
● Short-term projects initiated and executed by volunteers
● For social benefit / public good / community impact
● Completed over a 4-6 week period starting after the Launch in January 2027
● Using open or public data and tools you select
● Supported by a Project Coordinator and Data for Good

This is an opportunity to engage in discussions with other members to submit project ideas for consideration in advance of the Micro Projects Launch of Cohort 6 that will take place later in January.

Before or after the Workshop use this link to understand the information required and to submit an idea for a Micro Project … https://yyc-hub.dataforgood.ca/ords/r/dfgprod/dfg-public/suggest-micro-project
