Humane Tech NYC: A Hands-on Workshop for Creating Impact
Details
After a year of building the Center for Humane Technology’s NYC community and bringing awareness of key issues of the movement, we’re shifting gears towards creating real-world impact on the issues. Inspired by the Center for Humane Technology’s recent call-to-action for communities to take action at the local level, we are hosting the first of a series of hands-on, action-oriented Humane Tech workshops.
In this month’s workshop, we’re going to ask you to get involved; bring your subject matter expertise and passion to play a role in ideating solutions through the Center for Humane Technology’s model for change. We’ll focus on ideas for creating impact through the lens of internal pressure at major tech companies, external pressure at the public and policy level, and inspirational thought leadership.
All you need to do is fill out a quick survey and show up prepared to engage and participate. We hope that through these workshops, people will find a space to channel their passion and inspiration, connect with like-minded collaborators, feel empowered, and ultimately contribute to our community’s actionable and impactful efforts.

The Details
When You Register: We’ll ask you to complete a short survey about your area of expertise and interest areas in humane tech solutions that we’ll work on at the event. Our team will use these surveys to organize small working groups.
At the event: We’ll select group leaders, and break up into groups to explore/define problem spaces and explore/develop solutions. With only a couple of hours to dive in, think of the solutions we create in this first workshop as initial gestures toward longer-term solutions, strategies, thought leadership, drawings, prototypes, and so on. Each group leader will have a chance to present their group’s work to the entire gathering.
After the event: We’ll select top ideas for refinement and planning at future workshops, inviting key leaders and experts to help us take them from concept to action.
