It's been a pleasure to immerse ourselves in emerging technologies that are taking the world by storm. Our intention at the NIST has been to share our scientific and commercial understanding of AI adoption, risks, and opportunities. We joined these working groups, you can find their descriptions here:\n\nRisk Management for Generative AI\nSynthetic Content\nRed-Teaming\n\nWe're pleased to make notable contributions to the NIST, including, but not limited to:\n\nWork Products from our Human Quirks project at humanquirks.com\nObservations on the adoption and use of AI in educational settings, such as our Coding Camps for grade school students.\n\n🚧  Hack On Democracy, our new research project! 🚧\nIn Q1 of 2025, we launched a new project to explore ways to use our understanding of technology to design resilient democratic systems. The United States of America, its multi-level Constitutional Republic features (local, state, federal), the current political climate, social determinants,  oppressive threats, and the socioelcological environment encompassing its People, in aggregate, make for rich learning experiences and test bed for some of our latest prototypes. Simply scrumptious. 🍰\nLearn more at hackondemocracy.com\nCoding Academy\nOver Spring Break, we presented 50+ middle and high school students with new computers and taught them the basics of the Python Programming Language.\nThe Coding Academy is still going strong after more than 6 years! Here are some of our oldie-but-goodie) Reflections on the matter:\n\nReflections of Teaching My First Coding Camp\nEmpowering the Next Generation with Python to Drive Social Impact\n\nNotable Open Source Updates\n\nAdded two new JSON schemas for Tennessee's BEAD Challenge process: love-language\nThe next minor release of schemamodels will contain official support Python 3.12 \u0026 3.13\n\nAbout Civic Hacker\nCivic Hacker is the home of Public Interest Technology.

Combining multiple domains of study, we create projects and initiatives as opportunities to engage with local stakeholders to solve social problems and share knowledge beyond the technical community. Civic Hacker's mission is to use software, policy, and data to empower activists and engineer liberation. We've developed a theory of change called anti-oppressive technology, which states that we can address the threats created by oppressive systems by developing technology that liberates communities and unites us together as one people. Civic Hacker's goal is to, sustainably, create a positive social impact consumed through our technology services and supported by the public.","past_sponsors":8,"featured_works":[],"current_sponsors":3},"minimum_sponsorship_amount":15,"url":"https://sponsors.ecosyste.ms/accounts/civichacker","api_url":"https://sponsors.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/accounts/civichacker","html_url":"https://github.com/civichacker","sponsors_url":"https://github.com/sponsors/civichacker","sponsors_api_url":"https://sponsors.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/accounts/civichacker/sponsors","sponsorships_api_url":"https://sponsors.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/accounts/civichacker/sponsorships"}
