This session is a unique opportunity for you to help us shape how Tech for Good Dublin develops. We need your help to brainstorm how we can support Tech for Good beyond our events. We want to have a real impact and to find different ways to tap into the skills and enthusiasm of our members. Our working title for this new initiative is Tech for Good Connect and our vision it to enable valuable connections between Tech For Good members and live social impact tech projects, campaigns and products.

Workshop Format:
To start us off, we'll present case-studies on other organisations that connect techies to tech for good projects, products and campaigns such as time banking, techies in residence and volunteer matching.

Next we will break into small groups and discuss different options and practical actions we can take to move things forward.

Towards the end of the session we will share our ideas/solutions and record the next steps. Anyone who wishes to further volunteer their skills can offer at this point before we wrap up.

No specific experience is needed but ideal if you've previously attended one of our events and have thoughts on how we can develop. Paper and pens will be provided and lots of post-its!
