Partnerships with nonprofits

We run a class where student teams build projects, with the guidance of alumni mentors, to meet the needs of nonprofit organizations. We did a pilot project in 2018, and we had 5 teams work with local nonprofits in winter 2020. Stay tuned for more updates!

Workshops and guest speakers

We host interactive workshops and guest speaker events to foster conversations about the impacts of technology. In the past, we've invited speakers like Emily Denton from Google's Ethical AI team and Amy Wibowo, founder of Bubble Sort Zines.
