Tech for Social Good
Civic Hall – “is a one-of-a-kind community center for the world’s civic innovators. Located in the heart of New York City, we are a space where social entrepreneurs, change-makers, government employees, hackers, academics, journalists, and artists can share knowledge, build tools, and solve problems, together.”
And it’s home to Civicist – “We think of civic tech as a big tent. It includes civic apps—tools or platforms designed primarily for a civic purpose—but it also encompasses big apps or platforms that have civic effects. That comprises everything from SeeClickFix or NationBuilder in the former case, to Yelp (when people use it to review government services) or Google (with its Civic Information API) in the latter. People working to upgrade government’s use of technology—govtech—are certainly part of the civic tech ecosystem when their efforts involve engaging with the public.”
