Paid Fellowship Opportunity

We're happy to share a brand-new paid Computer Science fellowship opportunity with ¾Ã¾ÃÊÓƵ! You'll work with large amounts of data to create a 3D digital replica of Los Angeles--called a digital twin--and use it to brainstorm ways for the city to prepare for climate change and achieve equitable urban design. You'll be working with engineers, urban planners, and climate researchers to turn data into useful insights for the city. No experience is required, but previous experience with Python and geospatial tools (i.e. GeoPandas, Shapely, etc) would be preferred. More info can be found in the flyer above!
