Howard University is committed to continuous participation in PIT-UN. Our faculty are recipients of two PIT-UN grants. One of the grants was for developing a Public Interest Tech Case Study platform, to feature detailed accounts of past student projects that have emerged out of university classes — with narratives, teaching strategies, takeaways, and resources that future teaching teams and students can use to improve the quality of their curriculum and impact of their projects.

Educational Offerings
The Tech for Change Scholarship Grant to Howard University is supported by the Public Interest Technology University Network Fund (PIT-UN), a project of the New Venture Fund. PIT-UN was generously supported by Net App to launch this scholarship grant.
Educational Offerings
This project will create a student research program on Public Interest Technology culminating in a symposium where students will present the results of their research projects. The workshop will allow students to present research addressing the impact of technology in the world today; topics covered will fall under the umbrella of “technology and society.” A selection of top presenters at the workshop will win a mini grant sponsoring further public interest technology research. A report will be shared with the PIT-UN, detailing findings and important themes from the workshop.
