This past semester, Dr. Francine Berman led the first “Introduction to Public Interest Technology” class. Students explored the socio-technical world and pragmatic strategies for promoting personal and social responsibility, and as part of this course, formed teams to work on Public Interest problems and develop interventions.
A sampling of the projects and their hard work is shown in the posters below.
