You are almost there! Couple of more action items and you are an official DataPointer!
Firstly, we are asking you to fill out our "Get Involved" form which we internally call "Volcano Sheet".
"Volcano Sheet" is our database of all the people who are involved or who want to get involved with DataPoint Armenia. It simply has powerful and talented "data-volcanos" who are either active or inactive at the moment.
Go ahead and fill it out! It will take only 5 minutes.
Thank you for filling out the Volcano Sheet. You are a step closer!
Now that you have registered with DataPoint Armenia. We want to know a little bit more about you.
What do you know or want to know while here at DataPoint Armenia?
You are at the last step!
Last is our Volunteer Agreement form. We all love working together and realizing great projects for Armenia, so we should also make sure our work is registered properly.
The form below takes only 47 seconds.
Challenge: Can you do it faster?
