Become Student Brand Ambassadors (Marketing) for new app on sustainability (1)

Positions available: 2 Luta app is a new tool for Canadians in the battle against climate change. Luta app provides a simple data-driven way to measure the impact of energy usage in your home and in your vehicle. It then helps you take appropriate action to mitigate your GHG emissions and costs. Luta measures the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from furnaces, AC units and vehicles. Users of the app can answer a few questions about their HVAC unit or car, then get an instant report that provides them with an estimate of potential reduction of emissions and costs. The user can be also connected to a local home professional for a free consultation, or book a test drive at a local dealer through the app. Luta will also provide deals and promotions on eco-friendly products, such as; smart thermostats, energy-efficient TVs, electric scooters etc. The organization is aiming to promote the app across Canada and is looking to enrol 2 Student Brand Ambassadors from the sales and marketing field. The primary focus of the Student Brand Ambassadors will be: Participate in marketing strategy to promote the Luta app and the Luta store. Strengthen the social media presence of the app. Participate in strategy discussion with the Luta Team. Enrol and lead a team of student volunteers across institutes in Canada. Our goal at the end of this experience is: To promote the app and grow the number of app users. We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Riipen messaging, email, Zoom calls Benefits for the students: Exposure on the Luta Website (picture and brief resume profile) Opportunity to lead a team of student volunteers recruited by them Mentorship from the Luta leadership Experience letter Recommendation letter Opportunity to be part of the Luta Team Primary contact : Gaurav Aggarwal - Business Development Manager Secondary contact: Atul Mahajan - CEO

A slick automated system that fills our database with useful items!

The Coalition for Canadian Police Reform has encountered a major gap in the accessibility of reports, studies, news items and research papers that are relevant to police education in Canada and around the world. Some of these materials are digitally archived in government websites. Others are available by manual searches on academic library search engines. Others are within newspaper archives and still others are current news items in the popular press. They are all from open sources. To further our educational outreach across Canada we need to gather these materials or the links to these materials and place them within a searchable database. We believe the project would sequence as follows: Define project phases by determining priorities and sequencing of the components of the work and by limiting the scope of each phase so that the team members can complete the work within the available hours funded by Level UP. Work to be concluded could be as follows: Determine how to automate the search and collection of relevant materials. Type of software? / Which types of materials are easily collected? Determine the type of database. It could be proprietary like Zotero.org. Or built by the student team. Determine the search methodology. We believe that each link or publication could have key words assigned either manually or automatically. Define the user interfaces for each phase of collection, indexing, search, retrieval. Develop the software solutions. These could use current open-source software or new coding by the team or a combination of the two. Implement and test the product. Teach us old guys how to use it effectively.

OPTIMIZE AND DEVELOP OUR CURRENT WILD APRICOT SOFTWARE (or advise us to change)

Currently we use Wild Apricot software to provide a website and membership management. It is functional but limited. Recently we realized that optimizing our website on their platform for the necessary loading speed and content that meets Google's requirements for AdWords for Non Profits is hard to achieve because we are novices at html coding. The goals of the project are to: Conduct a needs analysis to determine if the Wild Apricot platform is suitable. This analysis should determine if the web-engine available is adequate to achieve the results needed and if the membership and contact management modules similarly are adequate to meet our needs. If Wild Apricot looks to be suitable then perform revisions: Optimize loading time Redevelop web-pages to enable video, blog and LinkedIn embedding Redesign our visual look: Make our website look stunning, professional, inviting! Perform Search Engine Optimization Optimize the membership application, member profiles, membership approval and membership communication Design the visual look of member communication based on the new visual look you have developed for the website In addition to the work on the Wild Apricot site implement a solution for an accessible catalog of existing academic papers, newspaper articles and other media that would be available behind a paywall to our members. Provide training on updating and maintaining all of our digitral assets.
