Not offered this year
Offered occasionally, last taught:

Spring 2023

In this course, students will work in a studio environment to iteratively design, build, and test technical projects in partnership with different social change organizations. Students will be placed in small teams to collaboratively work on projects that will range from, for example, developing a chatbot to aid community engagement to building a mobile app to teach STEM to refugee kids. Through the course, we will also reflect on our positionality and ethics in engaging in social impact work and what it practically means to leverage technology to create social change on an everyday basis. Enrollment limited to 12. Entry to this course is through application only.
