We are a coalition of orgs focused on Tech Education and Civic Engagement

Our vision is to build a coalition of tech companies, NGO’s, grassroots organizations, universities and mission-aligned tech companies, to collaborate on forward-thinking projects for the public benefit.

This initiative brings together rising leaders, creative thinkers, and tech innovators to spearhead civic and social change efforts through the annual Civic Tech Camp Hackaton.

The event focuses on addressing inequality with a grassroots approach, harnessing the collective strength of the community and utilizing technology to scale impactful solutions.
