Know My Community, Grow My Community Virtual Workshop - Census & RFP Edition
Thursday, Oct. 7
10 a.m.-12 p.m.

One way communities can grow is by attracting and expanding businesses and residents. However, responding to a Request for Proposals (RFPs) from potential businesses or critical infrastructure grants can be a daunting task. Nevertheless, it is still a critical component in attracting businesses, funding and the people you want in your location. 
Learn how to find the data you need to put your community in the best light at this free, two-hour interactive workshop with direct applications for business recruitment and developments in your community. 
If you know nothing about RFPs and want to learn about incentive programs, new programs from Commerce, recent laws that affect businesses, the latest tips on Census and redistricting, then this workshop would be helpful to you.
Workshops include a brief overview of the RFP and site selection processes, followed by a hands-on tutorial with Oklahoma Department of Commerce researchers on sources, databases, and strategies to help you fill out RFPs, grants or other data needs for your community.

Please note this is an online event. Registration is required. Please register in advance online.

Writing has been proven to not only improve a child’s critical thinking and communication skills, but also help them organize their thoughts and channel their emotions. Give your child the chance to engage with words in an entirely new way. In this workshop for elementary school students, your child will have the opportunity to tap into their senses to craft their own story. We will help them think like a writer and see how fun storytelling can be.

Children will listen to a writing lesson, have the opportunity to work independently on their work, and then be presented with the chance to share their stories in front of the class.

About the instructor

Saira Nadeem graduated from the University of Houston with a MFA in Fiction in 2019. Shortly afterwards, she gave birth to her first son – who looks like his father from Kentucky, but carries his Pakistani grandfather’s name. Her life has been a true testament to living between two different worlds and she shares many of these raw experiences through her stories. 

Before committing herself to writing, Saira taught undergraduate students how to sell at the #1 sales program in the nation. She has a knack for editing resumes and helping people land their dream jobs.  

Saira comes from a line of women that disobeyed the rules that were set for them and did not regret it. Because of this, her mission is to make a positive impact in the South Asian community by sparking conversation around cultural issues that disproportionately affect young girls.

Virtual Workshop | Data Bytes - Cleaning Messy Data with R
Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2021
3-4 p.m.

Cleaning data, whether it is your own or someone else's, is usually the most difficult and painstaking part of data analysis. In spreadsheets it may involve going cell by cell to look for errors and inconsistencies followed by cutting and pasting which can also introduce errors.

In this workshop, we will show you how to use R to clean, reformat and subset data quickly and without introducing the errors that Excel can be prone to. We will use real life messy weather data to demonstrate how to use the power of R to arrive at a clean and manageable data set.
