He has particularly admired being part of a student-led team where we are all able to support each other when problems arise. “I love that I get to do all this whilst working towards a goal aimed towards reducing carbon emissions.”

Arman joined carbon map whilst in his second year at Imperial College London studying Geophysics. He joined as CCM’s vision to produce meaningful solutions to the climate emergency using data-driven methods aligned well with his own. He has just completed an MSc in Data Science at City University. Above all he has loved working within the development team to bring the map to life! “I have learned so much about practical software development to create a tech product and how to translate functional app requirements into code.”

Jeevan is a third year Engineering student at Trinity College, University of Cambridge. He heard about CCM through social media posts, mainly on Facebook and joined as he wanted to contribute to a project that is trying to make a difference towards society. “Carbon map is part of the foundation to battling climate change, which is an issue that I care a lot about. Moreover, I wanted to expand my skillset, learning new programming languages and modules.” He has particularly relished the opportunity to learn about databases, specifically sql, as well as AngularJS, which is used for front-end development and has been merging these newly learnt skills with my previously learnt skills in Python.

Henry studied Natural sciences at the University of Leeds and joined carbon map to build experience whilst looking for a career in software development. “The opportunity attracted me with the chance to make a positive difference to the environment (a growing issue which is close to my heart) and develop new skills which were relevant to my job search. It’s also been a great project to sink my teeth into during lockdown!” He has particularly enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of the team and the diverse range of experiences. It has also been a good learning experience for him to connect databases to a web application securely.

Khaled Oozeer is a 3rd year Geophysics undergraduate at Imperial College London. He joined carbon map as it was an innovative project with a distinctive approach to mitigate climate change. He has really enjoyed collaborating with other enthusiastic students sharing a common interest with emissions reduction and with the map progressing so much over lockdown it really exemplifies the difference that can be made from home through collaboration.

Emma has a Physics degree from Cambridge and joined Carbon Map from a facebook advert! Her aim was to get some programming experience over the summer and working as part of a team with Carbon Map  gave her the motivation to couple learning new skills with a wider purpose of combating climate change.

Belinda Ng has just finished a BSc in Geography and is now a MSc Student at Imperial College London studying Environmental Technology. She joined carbon map as she was interested in the role of data in galvanizing collective action towards a low carbon future. She has enjoyed working on data visualisation approaches and strategies to communicate sustainable actions.

Chinedu Williams is  a software developer and website designer from Nigeria. He applied to Carbon Map via LinkedIn as an opportunity to use his invaluable experience in WordPress Development to help an environmental cause.
