Project Description:
Our team has worked remotely with a few local non-profit organizations to accelerate the slide into change.
The purpose of the Humans of ImpAct website is to curate stories about social enterprises as told by students from the member organizations of Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan).
For the Reducing Barriers to Inclusive Access project, we created a website for the community that shares initiatives that reduce barriers to inclusive access on campus and in the community.
The Ottawa Community Benefits Network is a network of various community, service, and labour groups dedicated to building healthy, diverse, and inclusive communities across Ottawa. We created a website for them: https://ottawacommunitybenefits.ca/.
For Rideau Rockliffe CRC, we are working on multiple tasks, from helping them develop their content to developing their social media plan for a new website launch. Our team will also help them in developing a platform for managing their backend operations.
For the Predatory Journals Project, our team has redesigned the website for Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Journalology team: http://www.ohri.ca/journalology/one-stop-shop-predatory-journals.
We crafted colourful zoom backgrounds for the National Children’s Botanical Garden of Canada, solved issues with the WordPress site, and established a Motion Graphic logo.
With the generous support of ICTC and IBM, we, as students, can gain valuable experience all while making contributions to the social sector in our community here in Ottawa. By supporting one, we support many. We are strong like a drum, eager like a violin, and innovative like the electric guitar. We inspire each other to compose great work. We are in tune with the world around us. We adapt our individual ways to create harmony. And we celebrate our victories triumphantly with emoji reactions over Zoom. We are SLiDE.
