About this Event

The Civic Innovation Lab: A National Hackathon for the Future of Government


Join us for a high-energy, solutions-driven convening that brings together university students from across the country, issue-area experts, and civic leaders to reimagine how government can better serve people, using AI as a tool for public good. Participants will hear directly from practitioners working on today’s most urgent challenges like housing instability, food insecurity, mental health, and community safety. Then, they will team up to design and pitch innovative, tech-enabled solutions. At the end, we will hear solutions that improve access, efficiency, and equity in public services.
