Level Up Outreach – Build tech to notify...

What problem are we trying to solve?

Awareness and engagement loop

Who will benefit (directly and indirectly) from this project?

Cross generational... outreach and branding for social media and user engagement/education re date and site.

Where can we find any research/data available/articles?

What help is needed at this time?

Answer here.

What are the next steps (validation, research, coding, design)?

Create branding campaign focused on Video around theme "What is April 28 to you?" Campaign drives to mobile/web microsite with Chatbot as main engagement mechanism. Top of page: Dynamic animated text line/headline with changing "madlib" of What April 28 is to you? ie: April 28 is Billy'sDay. or April 28 is Clean Water Day. (the point is that April 28 can mean a lot of different things to everyone, but in the end, April 28 is Take Back Day.") Chatbot delivers: • Site drop off locations • FAQs • Asks user what April 28 means to them • Generates shareable visual assets for social based on this answer, with prompt to share and ask friends, What does April 28 mean to you?

We have photos of our boards with lots of ideas, and will attach them here ASAP.

How can we contact you outside of Github(list social media or places you're present)?

Project management

Checklist for NEW ideas :baby:

Hey, you're official! You're now part of the growing Progressive HackNight community. Here's a few things to get started (a couple you've probably already done).

[x] Create this idea issue
[x] Flesh out the who, where, and what questions above
[ ] Start the conversation about this new idea on Slack (this project uses #general )
[ ] Respond with at least one update on this issue within the next month

Checklist for ACTIVE projects :fire:

Let's get this project started! When this idea starts taking off, the Progressive HackNight Team will start helping this project's lead(s) out with project management and connecting you to resources you may need. To get there, please complete and check off the following:

[ ] Post an update at least once a month to this issue. Use BASEDEF for ideas, but it's ok even if your update is just "nothing new happened this month" or "we saw a small increase in traffic to our app this month". If there's no activity for two months, that's no problem, life happens. We'll just label this as backlog so others know you'll get back to it when you have the time. If nobody hears from you at all in more than two months, we may mark it as abandoned so that others can pick up this idea and run with it.
[ ] Create a GitHub repository and Slack channel for work.
[ ] Create issues to describe each task that you plan to do or need help with and how a contributor can get started on that task. You might start and stop a lot, so consider issues as your to-do list.
[ ] Create a team for your core contributors
- This will make it easier for you to manage your github repo access. People on a team have the same level of access. Admin access will allow your trusted contributors to make changes as needed.
- You can remove and add people to your team as needed.
- Note: You can also allow collaborators outside of your team and give them more limited access.
[ ] Create a Google Drive, Dropbox, or other cloud storage to share larger files
- Github and Data.World are good for code and data, respectively, especially when you need version control. But they're not good for very large files, documentation, articles, etc. A cloud storage option will allow you to easily share, create, and collaborate on documents with your team and help organize ideas and thoughts.
- Doing this early on can help your team stay organized and to onboard new contributors who wouldn't have access to files you all have shared over email.

If you get stuck at any point, feel free to reach out to the leadership team with an email to steering@progressivehacknight.org or come find an organizer at a HackNight. We're here to help bring great ideas to life!
