Columbia Engineering

Design Challenge: Census 2020

OPEN TO ALL COLUMBIA STUDENTS (INCLUDING TEACHERS COLLEGE AND BARNARD)

REGISTER HERE


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.
