Workshop Description: This workshop will focus on the current climate of Technology in the United States. This will include a brief description of the history, how power dynamics have shaped both our use and development of Tech, and how technology can perpetuate inequalities. Workshop participants will engage in conversation around different case studies in Tech in which they will identify the problem, discuss a solution, and share out their findings. This workshop is designed to have participants learn about the current space in tech, use a social justice lens to identify and 'solve' a current problem in technology, and foster skills of collaboration and critical thinking.
