All Dalhousie undergraduate and graduate students are invited to register for the ECCE coding or storymap app competition held by Esri Canada to help promote innovation and creativity within the Centres of Excellence. The winning team will receive $1500.
For 2021, students will likely have the best experience if they form into teams of 3 students. Apps must use open data, will be given a predetermined theme announced once the challenge starts, and will need to be created over a 1-week period in March (dates to be announced soon). Find out more about the challenge at the App Challenge website.
You must register ahead of time by sending an email to James Boxall (james.boxall@dal.ca).
ACENET'S research consultant in humanities, arts, and social sciences (HSS) is launching a monthly Atlantic Canadian virtual forum designed to introduce digital HSS researchers to various tools and techniques. HSS faculty or students can register for the series by clicking on this sign-up link.
Each session "will include a short presentation by a researcher about their experience using a particular tool - how it works, what they’ve been able to accomplish, and the bumps along the way - followed by a Q&A session and discussion. Bring your questions and challenges."
