2023

IOTO
This project will track and evaluate parliamentary members and their involvement and activities on environment protection and sustainable development. It will leverage public data with tools such as sentiment analysis to draw conclusions on these topics. The evaluation will focused on data from 2021 (or 2022, depending on availability) and we will start by looking at the activities of the members of Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.
Awesense
At Awesense, we’ve been building a platform for digital energy with the goal of allowing easy access to and use of electrical grid data in order to build a myriad of applications and use cases for the decarbonized grid of the future, which will need to include more and more distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar, batteries as well as electric vehicles (EVs).
Cenovus Energy
Cenovus is a Canadian-based integrated energy company headquartered in Calgary. We’re committed to maximizing value by sustainably developing our assets in a safe, innovative and cost-efficient manner, integrating environmental, social and governance considerations into our business plans.
Innovatree Carbon Group
Model the carbon footprint of slash pile burning vs grinding for bioenergy in the forestry industry and create a web interface (using HTML) which can report those costs in real time
Multiverse Computing
This project uses machine learning techniques to analyze data regarding deforestation in the Amazon basin. In a recent blog post, Ajitesh Kumar wrote: Forest degradation is a major problem that contributes to climate change.
North Coast Skeena First Nations Stewardship Society
This project aims to determine an appropriate tissue sample size program to effectively expand Genetic Stock Identification (GSI) data which indicates proportionate stock composition. Such a program would then be applied to the estimated harvest to produce meaningful stock proportion estimates in the mixed stock recreational Chinook harvest for Pacific Fishery Management Areas managed by the North Skeena First Nations Stewardship Society.
Git and GitHub

Git is a powerful version control system allowing to record, access, and restore the history of projects. After setting up remotes on the internet or other network, Git is also a mighty collaboration tool. In this workshop, we will:

  • Explain what version control is and what the benefits are
  • Get you started with Git
  • Use the popular online Git repository hosting site GitHub to introduce a workflow typical of many companies.

Parallel Coding with Julia
Julia is a high-level programming language well suited for scientific computing and data science. Just-in-time compilation, among other things, makes Julia really fast yet interactive. This session will introduce Julia as and demonstrate how it can be used to tackle problems which require parallel programming.

Python Training in Numpy & Pandas
Participants will be trained in the use of numpy and pandas. This course will serve as a foundation for further courses on machine learning (e.g. sklearn) which will in turn provide participants with a solid general purpose toolset for data-analysis and developing data-science pipelines for practical problems.
