Analyzing Existing Data to Justify Recent Policy Changes in Zoning in Ontario, Canada

This project develops a series of AI workshops for high school students and teachers. Graduating students will collaborate with the Statistics Canada team in Toronto to apply their skills to contemporary public policy challenges. Statistics Canada will provide the students with large datasets pertaining to city planning, climate change, and public sentiment patterns. The students will apply their learning and perform analysis and data predictions. VentureKids, the key public policy partner in Toronto, is a not-for-profit organization that serves marginalized kids in the Greater Toronto Region. VentureKids will help magnify the impact of this project, and ensure its sustainability beyond this project duration.
