Public Interest Technology

This group contains curriculum and related materials in the area pf Public Interest Technology. Public Interest Technology (PIT) has been generally defined as technology for the public good. New America, a think tank that works on problems related to technology and society in the US, defines PIT as “a field dedicated to leveraging technology to support public interest organizations and the people they serve”. (https://www.newamerica.org/public-interest-technology/about/) The Ford Foundation, a funding agency focused on social justice issues, views PIT as “tech at work for the public” (https://www.fordfoundation.org/campaigns/public-interest-tech/). Since PIT is broadly defined, and an emerging discipline, there is a lack of available curricula that can be shared with the academic community. Because of this, there is a need for shared curricula materials that can be adopted into university majors, general education offerings, tracks within a major, interdisciplinary minors, etc. This site hopes to fill this curricula gap.
