Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

The Pitech elective is primarily a survey course, designed to expose students to an array of cross-sector and multi-disciplinary efforts at the intersection of technology and positive social change, including socially responsible businesses, impact investing, philanthropy, and technology-driven innovations in the non profit and public sectors. The course will also offer practical guidance and tools for building social enterprise, impact-driven business, using technology to deliver essential services, and for those who are especially concerned with principles of responsible innovation. The course will feature fireside chat guests from leading practitioners in the space. Previous guests have included executives, founders, funders, investors, and leaders from the Ford Foundation, Blue Meridian, Girls Who Code, Data & Society, Omidyar Network, The White House, The Global Impact Investing Network, and more.
