Civic hacknight #231 - Open Toronto School

Details

Topic: Open Toronto School

The Open Toronto School project aims to open a 'Sudbury Valley' model school - a democratic school in the U.S. - in Toronto, with a focus on civics and technology.

Presenter Biography:

Ryan is a technologist, educator and freedom maximalist who has been working towards student liberation. This has culminated in his most recent work on the Open Toronto School project.

Come help us chip away at civic problems by combining technology with the power of our community. We've got everything you need for a perfect Tuesday night: a presentation to learn from, some projects to work on, and 🍕pizza to snack on! 💧Help us be more sustainable by bringing a reusable water bottle.

Toronto Media Arts Centre (TMAC)

Check-in details:

TMAC is located at 32 Lisgar, just south of Queen near Dovercourt. The main entrance is on the North side of building, to the east of the apartment entrance.

If you run into any issues, send a message to our "doorbell" at 647-812-2649, and the organizers will get a notification.

Accessibility:

There is an elevator and accessible washroom on the first floor.

We can offer 2 transit tokens per participant per week to those in need of transportation support to get to hacknights. Please ask an organizer to take advantage of this. (We have a set budget for tokens, and if we’re running low, we will make every attempt to update the event description to say so.)

About Us:

Our weekly civic tech hacknights bring together designers, coders, urban planners, government staff, mappers, policy-makers, students, communications strategists, and all other Torontonians who share an interest in making Toronto more responsive, prosperous, sustainable and equitable, through design, tech, and data. (Coders are welcome, but you don’t have to be a coder to contribute!) Come and be part of it!
