Civic leaders, organizations, citizens, and other stakeholders increasingly recognize the power of technology to connect people, improve cities, and make government more effective.  We want to foster our and other’s interest in this technology so that we can take advantage of innovation and new technology that improves government functions and citizens’ well-being. By creating a workspace for individuals to learn about and hone their skills, we aim to help educate a workforce that can effectively identify and solve government and city-wide challenges.
