On March 7th<\/sup>, Ali Rodney, Julia Smeed and Tamsyn Riddle presented the Hub\u2019s key insights and design process to a room full of energetic, inspired and innovative folks who are part of Civic Tech Toronto. \u00a0Civic Tech Toronto hosts weekly \u201chacknights\u201d which allow anyone with a project to collaborate and create with fellow community members. Participants worked on projects ranging from creating a WebCrawler to identify hate speech in Canada to creating a multimedia campaign that raises awareness of racial profiling and carding to a take down of fake news project (among others!)\"Civic<\/a>\"Julia<\/a>\"Office<\/a><\/a>\"Ali<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a few UofT students and alumni in the audience. They seemed unsurprised by the fact that students have a hard time finding community, feeling cared for, prepared for the future and that UofT can be quite inaccessible at times. There was visible excitement that a project like the Innovation Hub is happening and\u00a0many attendees enquired about our\u00a0our findings and approach. A video of the presentation is going up on the Civic Tech Toronto website, you can find it here<\/a> once it\u2019s posted.<\/p>\n

If you have a project you\u2019d like collaboration on, or would like to offer your help and expertise \u2013 we\u2019d encourage you to\u00a0attend a Civic Tech Toronto hacknight! http:\/\/civictech.ca\/about-us\/<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
