Hunger is at an all-time high; right now, 1 in 8 people worldwide go to bed hungry each night.
A sustainable solution to global hunger must include the three pillars of Heifer International’s values-based development model: economic development, climate-smart agriculture, and empowering women and girls. Heifer stands steadfast in its goal of helping another 10 million families by 2030. But success requires collective action, and the farmers whom Heifer works with need your help and support.
This is why, as part of this event, your team will have the opportunity to write notes of thanks, encouragement, and support. These notes will be personally delivered to farmers around the world to show them that we recognize and appreciate their work and dedication. Together, we will Take Hunger Off the Menu!

Help researchers unlock data through Zooniverse.org, the world’s largest platform for people-powered research, with over 2.5 million people worldwide participating in over 90 active projects, from classifying galaxies, marking cells for cancer research, transcribing historic handwritten documents, and more.

During this 60-minute virtual engagement session you will participate in PenguinWatch.org, helping researchers tag penguins in drone images to understand the impact of climate change on this charismatic species and the health of our oceans.

You’ll hear directly from a Zooniverse team lead about the impact of Penguin Watch, learn how to tag penguins, chicks and eggs in digital images, and spend the majority of the hour participating directly in the research project.

There is no preparation required, you will be guided through how to register for an account and how to tag penguins in the images. If you want to register for a Zooniverse account in advance, go to Zooniverse.org and select ‘register’ in the right corner. Please use your Microsoft email address so that your stats can be included in Microsoft’s overall stats on Zooniverse. To date, Microsoft employees have contributed over half a million classifications to Zooniverse projects!

Participants: If you would like your event hosted by a Zooniverse team member, we ask for a minimum of 100 participants. If your event is led by a Microsoft Employee, there is no minimum for this project. The maximum is set by your virtual platform (e.g., how many people Microsoft Teams supports).

Location: Virtual if facilitated by a Zooniverse team member. If led by a Microsoft Employee, can be virtual or in-person (though everyone will participate in the research itself through the Zooniverse.org website).

Date/Time: If facilitated by a Zooniverse team member, best to consider windows within Monday-Friday 10am-5pm CT and Monday-Thursday 8:30-9:30pm CT.

Facilitation: Facilitated by a Zooniverse team member, or non-hosted and led by a Microsoft Employee with guidance from the Zooniverse team (i.e., we will provide a template slide deck and instructions so that you can lead the event for your team).

Duration: If facilitated by a Zooniverse team member, the opportunity will last 60 minutes. If facilitated by a Microsoft Employee, it can last 30-60 minutes.

Geographic Reach: The Zooniverse is hosted and led by the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, the University of Oxford, and the University of Minnesota, in partnership with researchers around the world. The Penguin Watch project images are taken in Antarctica and the project is led by the University of Oxford.

Funding: No funding is required to carry out this event.

This opportunity is part of #Give2023 and beyond.
