Enabling social good through technology: Current opportunities and challenges

Brings together themes from all the previous courses

The final course in the occupational track will bring together themes from all the previous courses. This course has two complementary aspects. First, students will be able to demonstrate their skills by working on a significant project. Second, it will prepare students for work in social sector organizations by providing exposure to current opportunities and challenges. Through interactions with practitioners, students would be able to develop a sense for the nature of work they will encounter either in their internship or employment after graduation. Students will also be introduced to some emerging technology tools that appear promising.
