OUR HOPE:
Our goal is to create tools & apps that make the world a better place.We hope to demystify conversations around civic & open data to nonprofits & help them realize that their ideas can contribute to apps for social & civic benefit.These demosof Public Good Technology apps will provide:
Developers with a place to share their prototypes & apps with the subject matter experts who can provide useful feedback from direct experiences in the sector
Nonprofits with opportunities to see what kind of apps for social change are being created & what is possible
Get ideas from nonprofits & issue advocates, & turn those ideas into an actionable format so developers could build on themand eventually turn those ideas into apps.
Create a discussion environment between software engineers & social change agents & demystify apps for social benefit.
NONPROFITS:
If you've found yourself wondering if your org needs a mobile app, we'll show you examples of apps for social benefit that are already in use. You'll have an opportunity to share your organization's real-world problems with the people who may be able to translate those challenges into tools that support your work. We'd love to help you get to the next level & build apps for your nonprofit cause. What we ask of you:
Come with ideas for how technology can be implemented
Bring anyone on your team in charge of implementing technology
Be ready to brainstorm ideas with developers
