Community Introductions 👋

[Brittni]

In light of these unprecedented times, we’ve been amazed to watch our Airtable community and champions rally, creating COVID-19 related bases in efforts to support individuals, industries, and local communities. To ensure we can circulate these resources as broadly as possible, our team will be creating a catalog of resources for re-use in our Community Mobilization category in Airtable Universe.

If you’ve created a base you think others might find useful, you can share that base with us, along with best practices for use, by mentioning @airtable in your social channels (Instagram & Twitter) or by sharing the base directly right here in our community forum. You can also post the base in Airtable Universe and we’ll feature it here in the community.

Similarly, if you have questions about a base you’d like to start building, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in the channels listed above so our team and community can help you get started.

Thanks again for being a member of our community - we’re in this together!

P.S. Airtable is making Airtable Pro available for free to any non-political humanitarian group that is working on COVID-19 relief efforts. If you’d like to apply, use this link: Airtable support for COVID-19 humanitarian groups

COVID-19 Tracking Visualization Show and tell

I came across a great resource from The Covid Tracking Project Once I saw they had an API, I decided it was the perfect use case to showcase the power of Airtable - charts, scripts, data grouping, etc. So, I spent an hour to build this tracking utility from the Tracking project. Feel free to share:

School At Home Planner Show and tell

With schools closed and many students switching to school-at-home, it can be difficult for both students and their parents to keep track of all the assignments and live online classes they suddenly find themselves having. This base blends time-tested practices used for years by many school-at-home and homeschooling families with the ease of Airtable’s available-on-any-device technology. It leverages calendar views, search block, summary block, and fun emoji to make it easy to see what needs to …

@openside Thank you for creating that! Would you be up for posting it to Airtable Universe? You can publish it in a few minutes at airtable.com/publish. We’ll also add this to our resource base we’re putting together to share with others.

@kuovonne This looks great, thank you! We’ll add this to our base of resources for families.

I created a set of bases to act as (mostly) local information and resources directories. I created a portal page at ascotcovidresources . org
