{ "name":"Community Code Days", "description": "https://ticketfi.com/event/5839/community-code-days\n\n\"Community Code Days is a completely free program for everyone 12+, designed to teach coding skills to develop a project that will help address social impact challenges. Through this program, we aim to inspire community members to engage with technology and feel empowered when developing their technology skills that will help them thrive in the digital world.\\n\\nProgram Information\\nCommunity Code Days will be held on Sundays from 9:00-11:00am MT. The first two workshop sessions will be held in-person at Keyano College and the remaining sessions will be held virtually over Zoom.\\n\\nIf you sign up for the in-person\\/hybrid you do not need to sign up for the virtual as well.\\n\\nPreviously, CCD was a 2-day hackathon where community members came together to work on coding projects around a specific problem. We've adjusted the schedule to hold workshops across 6 weeks this year. The adjusted schedule not only provides participants with more time to learn these skills, but also allows them to apply them meaningfully to their projects. \\n\\nProgram Dates\\nWorkshop Sessions\\n\\n\\n\\tWeek 1, Oct 20 (Hybrid) Introduction to Tech Entrepreneurship and Basics of Coding\\n\\tWeek 2, Oct 27 (In-Person) Programming Arduinos\\n\\tWeek 3, Nov 3 (Virtual) Ethical AI + Programming Machine Learning in Python\\n\\tWeek 4, Nov 17 (Virtual) UI & UX: Prototyping in Figma\\n\\tWeek 5, Nov 24 (Virtual) Pitching & Presentations\\n\\n\\nPitch Competition\\n\\n\\n\\tWeek 6, Dec 1 (Hybrid)\\n\\n\\n\\nSocial Impact\\nIn a world where technology and creativity are pivotal in addressing social issues, we invite you to harness your skills and ideas to develop solutions that make a positive social impact. Social impact can be defined as the effect on people and communities that happens as a result of an action or inaction, an activity, project, programme or policy.\\n\\nThere are a variety of social challenges that participants can choose to tackle; from educational accessibility, health & wellness, environmental sustainability, to social inclusion & equity to name a few. We encourage participants to choose a challenge that they are passionate about tackling.\\n\\nPitch Competition\\nThe pitch competition is an opportunity for participants to present your project to a panel of judges and win some prizing worth $600 split among the top 3 projects. Community Code Days will provide some support with the last workshop being the the Pitching & Presentations workshop but participants are required to work on their projects on their own time.\\n\\nProjects will be judged on the following factors:\\n\\n\\n\\tAmbition of Problem: Scale and complexity of exploration of the problem (personal to community scale).\\n\\tInnovation of Solution: Scale and novelty of the technology being used, and\\/or the architectural approach taken.\\n\\tPeople Impact: Total impact of the idea on the community (how will this affect the "end users").\\n\\tQuality of Implementation: Ability for the team to reach a conclusion about the viability of the project.\\n\\tQuality of Presentation: Ability for the judges to clearly understand (a) what the desired functionality is, and (b) see that the functionality is behaving as expected.\\n\\nPitch presenters will be required to include a powerpoint presentation and a demonstration of their project within the pitch presentation.\"", "startDate":"2024-10-20", "endDate":"2024-12-01", "startTime":"09:00", "endTime":"15:30", "location":"Keyano College - 8115 Franklin Ave Fort McMurray AB T9H 2H7 Canada", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
