Computing For Humanity is seeking a team of learners to develop engaging and informative content for our monthly newsletter, website and our social medias. The goal is to create compelling stories that highlight our initiatives, achievements, and the impact of our work on the community. This project will allow learners to apply their skills in content creation, digital storytelling, and communication. The team will be responsible for researching, writing, and editing articles, as well as curating multimedia content to enhance the storytelling experience. This project aims to improve our outreach and engagement with our audience by delivering high-quality, consistent content.

Computing for Humanity, previously known as Cancer Computer, is a charity based in Ottawa, Canada. While it originally focused on supporting cancer research, it now extends its scope to include other diseases, climate change, agriculture, COVID-19 research, and technology integration for public safety. The organization provides researchers with High-Performance Computing power both nationally and internationally.

Founded in 2015, our founder, Roy Chartier, discovered a deficiency which was negatively impacting researchers, being their limited access to computing power. It was revealed that only a small percentage of research obtains adequate computing power, an essential component to meet research requirements and drill down on the findings of research.

Computing for Humanity was born from this niche with the mission to provide researchers with the computing resources they need to uncover medical advancements destined to improve human life with the goal that no medical advancement should be waiting in line for computing time.
