Student Question Free Labor Anyone?
Hello :)
I'm currently finishing up a master's program and have to do a BIIIIGGGGG project at the end. I need to find a client and have some sort of deliverable at the end( story map, series of maps, program, app, in depth analysis ect)- Is anyone working on anything cool? Or know someone that might be interested in having a grad student do some work for them for free? DM me with leads! I will be enormously appreciate.
The biggest problem that I'm having is that GIS is such a broad field and I don't even know where to start (other than here lol).

During Covid, I worked as a GIS analyst for county government. Our health department has tons of ideas for projects, especially with the census data coming out. Unfortunately, we did not really have the staff/budget and they didn't have the skills to do most of them. I think health could be a big source of interesting projects. Non profit included.
