PIT-Midwest

PIT-MW embraces a wide-ranging vision of Public Interest Technology (PIT). More than just serving the public good, PIT is rooted in values like ethics, justice, equity, co-design, empathy, transparency, and accountability. It’s a field that cuts across sectors—impacting government, academia, nonprofits, and industry alike. While not every challenge may be labeled a “PIT problem,” the tools and mindset of PIT can be applied broadly to design thoughtful, responsible tech solutions that reduce harm and create meaningful, positive change.
