Columbia Engineering is pleased to be working with the New York City Office of the Census to launch a collaborative design challenge in the emerging area of civtech. Students will develop a multi-disciplinary design concept or prototype that will increase census response rates and make sure every New Yorker is counted.
This is an incredible opportunity for students to work with a government office, utilize public data sets, and be a part of collaborations between public policy and technology.
Students from all schools at the university can participate in this challenge – individuals as well as teams are welcome. The kickoff is Friday September 6th from 11-1 in 451 Computer Science. Faculty mentors and government leaders will provide information on the Census context as well as advice on the application of specific technologies.
