Undergraduate College Course

Boston is a city with a proud legacy of higher education. 14 Northeastern undergraduate students in Northeastern University's Honors program were selected to take an experiential studio course taught by Dr. Kimberly D. Lucas on emergent technologies (including AI) and their implications for communities and governance.

​​

For one semester, students had hands-on exposure to emergent tech while breaking into teams that focused on the implications for their various communities.

 

These teams produced policy memos on how the City of Boston's Department of Innovation and Technology should consider each of the above communities as it continues to evolved its municipal civic tech policy and (2) informational videos in the style of the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics' "What the Tech?" series.​
