Google Apps Script Workshop

Project details

What we need
  • A workshop that teaches users how to write and troubleshoot a script connecting multiple Google products
  • One functional prototype of an Apps Script, such as mail merge, form automation, etc. by the end of the workshop
  • Resources for learning further about the topic as well as existing ready-to-use scripts built by other developers
What we have in place
  • We currently have sources of robust data, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have extensive use of Google Apps and gmail, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,752 , allowing us to bring personalized learning experiences to 1000 elementary school students.

The success of our organization depends on being able to automate our reporting. Without your help, we cannot set up this important system. Your skills will empower us to change the way teachers operate.

Our mission

To help schools maximize student learning while reducing costs

What we do

2Sigma Education is a nonprofit organization that helps schools maximize student learning while reducing costs. Experts agree that the most effective form of education is 1 on 1 instruction for each student. Unfortunately, 1 on 1 instruction is also impractical and unaffordable at scale. At 2Sigma, we’ve developed an education model that combines teachers, technology, and data to replicate the effectiveness of 1 on 1 instruction in a traditional classroom setting.

(Note: We are in the midst of a rebranding effort and do not yet have a new website. Our old brand does have a website, and so we have provided the links to that site. Sorry for the confusion!)
