Don’t Forget the Data or the Civics: Digital Education for a New Generation: Lightning Talks

This session is a must-attend for anyone who came into the government or tech space to promote democracy and civic participation.

Civics education is at a crossroads: In 2014, less than 25% of 8th graders scored proficient on the National Civics Exam, and in 2018, only 9 states required year-long US government courses.

This fall, the State Department’s Office of Foreign Assistance (F) took on the challenge of reimagining civics education through a sprint to develop data-driven digital tools.

Groundbreaking not only in the subject matter, but also as the pilot of TOP’s new open source toolkit - TOPx. Featuring lightning talks by Syracuse iConsult and Suffolk University.
