CS for Social Change

Catalog description

Working 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 developing a chatbot to aid community engagement to conducting geospatial data analytics. 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.
