Data Quality Internship
Rebecca Chandiru

The HOT Data Quality Internship is a 3-month program that involves the interns being undertaken comprehensive training on various geospatial tools, including iD editor, JOSM, OSMCha, Osmose, keep right, QGIS, Overpass turbo, ODK, and Mapbox. These trainings enabled them to confidently validate the work of other mappers and improve their geospatial data analysis and storytelling skills. In addition to the technical training, the interns participated in sessions aimed at improving their community engagement potential. These sessions included tips, tricks, and challenges related to the Local OSM Community Working Group, presentations and demos on OSM community channels, and "ask me anything" meetings with Youthmappers Regional Ambassadors and HOT Working Group chairpersons/members. These meetings provided the interns with insight into how to get involved in various OSM communities and encouraged their active participation.
