Become a member ofTech For Good Dublin on Meetup.Join ourTech For Good Dublin Linkedin Group.Tech for Good Dublin is a group that brings together people who are enthusiastic about using technology for positive impact. We believe that digital technology is a powerful tool that can be harnessed to tackle social and environmental challenges and bring about change. We invite you to join our group and get ideas and inspiration from guest speakers, take part in discussions and to meet others with similar interests. Our events encourage conversations between those who want to address a social problem and those keen to share ideas about digital solutions.This group is co-ordinated on a voluntary basis by Máirin Murray (Digital Doddle) and Ellen Ward (Concern Worldwide). Events are free and open to all. We welcome techies and non-techies, non-profit sector worker and volunteers, activists, campaigners, social entrepreneurs and everyone enthusiastic about TechForGood. In 2020 we have gone online, but previously we loved sharing donuts and chats at our popular events, and look forward to doing so again.

Tech For Good Dublin

Participant Requirements: Please bring your own laptop - wifi will be provided.
Facilitator: 
Ellen Ward Co-founder of Tech For Good Dublin and IT Manager at Concern Worldwide.
Focus:  
A participative workshop creating maps as part of an open source project from MissingMaps.org 
Background: 
Concern Worldwide and MSF Ireland are part of a global movement to build digital maps of vulnerable and remote areas around the world. Since 2016 Concern has been mapping urban areas in Port au Prince, Haiti where community resilience projects are underway and MSF are mapping large areas of famine effected South Sudan. 
Volunteers can learn in a few minutes how to use the OSM HOT Task Manager tool to draw houses, roads and other features onto satellite imagery. Group events are fun and produce digital maps which help NGOs and community groups working in unmapped areas.  
This is a participative workshop and you'll need to bring your own laptop and mouse. No previous experience is required. See MissingMaps.org for more information.
Numbers are limited for the workshop.  Refreshments will be provided.
