Application for Columbia Tech Society Interface Lab’s inaugural Civic Innovation Sprint is NOW OPEN and due on Oct 28!
The event is a university hack for accelerating technology’s impact on our civic sector. Over a two-day workshop on November 15-16, students will receive hands on training about the intersection of technology and civic engagement from New York City’s innovative thought leaders, Hollie Russon Gilman (SIPA) and Sudhir Venkatesh (Sociology & Global Thought). Students will also participate in a Challenge, which invites them to develop innovative solutions with modern tools to hack on a pressing issue – Driving Voter Turnout At Scale. At the end of day two, participants will present their recommendations to an invited jury. There will also be networking opportunities for students to develop relationships with public and private sector leaders to help them launch careers in industries transformed by digital technologies.
