SUMMARY:Beyond the Bus: A Spatial and Socio-Economic Analysis of MTA Bus Violations
DESCRIPTION:  \nAt the start of 2019\, the MTA introduced a new technology with efforts to speed of bus routes in the NYC boroughs. The Bus Automated Camera Enforcement (ACE) system was implemented onto specific buses\, eventually spreading onto buses across the five boroughs. Beyond the Bus: A Spatial and Socio-Economic Analysis of MTA Bus Violations explores the intricacies regarding the data collected from this ACE system by looking through a socio-economic spatial lens. \nBeyond the Bus is a project by Ibrahima Diallo\, Rolando Mancilla-Rojas\, and Kabbo Sultan\, students from the Marcy Lab School studying data analytics and trying to empower underrepresented communities with their analytical work. \n\n

SUMMARY:Turtles All the Way Down
DESCRIPTION:Turtles All the Way Down is a hands-on\, audience-assisted live-coding demo using Turtle Geometry\, a tool from MIT that was used to enable children as young as preschool to learn introductory coding and mathematical operations. The history of Turtle coding\, which is rich and varied\, touches all aspects of education reform in the US (successful and otherwise) and helps to quickly and effectively explode the notion that “engineering is only for certain types of people.” It has a rapid democratizing effect on our attitudes towards learning (and ourselves as learners) and a rich\, proven history of accessibility. Anyone can pick it up in a few minutes\, and it works with every modern programming language. \nTurtles All the Way Down is a project by Luke Conley.

SUMMARY:App Microscope
DESCRIPTION:App Microscope is a tool to display the Internet Safety Labs safety label (ISL Safety Label) for mobile applications. The information in the ISL Safety Label is designed to highlight safety risks found in the app when using it as it was designed to be used. ISL calls these inherent risks “programmatic harms”. \nMost of the labels in App Microscope are from the more than 1\,722 apps studied in the ISL 2022 K-12 EdTech safety benchmark. New labels are being added all the time. App Microscope is designed for app developers\, technology decision-makers\, journalists\, privacy advocates and regulators\, but can be used by everyone to better understand the hidden risks of mobile apps. \nApp Microscope\, a project by Internet Safety Labs (ISL)\, is a free public service funded in part by a generous grant from the Internet Society Foundation. ISL is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

SUMMARY:Robot for Public Good
DESCRIPTION:Robot for Public Good: Empathy\, Ethics\, and Play in Human–Robot Interaction is an interactive demo exploring how robots can embody empathy\, ethics\, and community values while promoting emotional learning. Using an expressive\, AI-driven robot\, the installation invites visitors to experience how technology can model care\, curiosity\, and civic awareness. \nThe demo highlights how robots can serve as learning companions to help children and particularly children with autism develop emotional intelligence and social understanding. Through short\, guided interactions\, the robot recognizes facial expressions\, responds playfully to human emotions\, and prompts participants to reflect on empathy\, fairness\, and trust in technology. \nBy blending education\, ethics\, and design\, Robot for Public Good transforms abstract concepts like responsible AI and inclusion into joyful\, tangible experiences. The project demonstrates how robotics can support diverse learning needs while encouraging the public to see AI as a tool for compassion\, connection\, and civic engagement. \nRobot for Public Good is a project by the Assistive Robotics Tech Research Group @ CUNY AI Tech Innovation Hub led by Dr. Azhar.

SUMMARY:UPchieve
DESCRIPTION:UPchieve is a nonprofit edtech platform that provides 24/7 free\, on-demand tutoring and college support for low-income students. The platform connects students with trained volunteer tutors in real time\, so academic help is available whenever and wherever they need it.\nAt the PIT Pop Up\, visitors will see both sides of the experience. They can walk through the steps a student takes to ask for help\, watch how the system quickly matches them to a live coach\, and get a sense of what an actual tutoring session feels like. On the volunteer side\, people will see what it is like to support a student in the moment they need it and how accessible and easy it really is \nThe problem UPchieve addresses is unequal access to academic support. Families who cannot afford private tutoring or counseling might see their kids fall behind. By making UPchieve free and 24/7\, we aim to help level the playing field. The NYC PIT Pop Up is a great chance to show how technology can be used not just for convenience\, but for equity. \nPresented by UPchieve team members\, Mark Espinoza (Program Manager – Strategic Projects) and Katy Laird (Head of Programs).

SUMMARY:Public Interest Data Literacy (PIDLit) Learning Lab\, “Tackling Food Insecurity”
DESCRIPTION:Georgia State University’s Library Research Data Services (RDS) Department launched the Public Interest Data Literacy (PIDLit) Learning Lab\, a grant-funded experiential learning course titled “Tackling Food Insecurity.” Offered in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024\, the course connected students with local organizations—Panther’s Pantry\, Wholesome Wave Georgia\, MARTA Markets\, and ATLytiCS—to apply data skills toward addressing food insecurity in the metro-Atlanta area. Students engaged in hands-on data collection and analysis through three research studies: surveys of GSU students and MARTA riders examining food insecurity experiences\, and a qualitative analysis of focus groups evaluating Wholesome Wave Georgia’s Food for Health program. \nThe project exemplifies Public Interest Technology by showcasing how students can be pushed to use data for social good\, blending technical learning with civic engagement. Many participants reported newfound confidence in data literacy\, teamwork\, and research communication\, all skills that will prepare them for future careers in research\, policy\, and technology. The goal wasn’t just to spread awareness of the ongoing food crisis in the Metro Area\, but to showcase how universities can bridge classroom learning with community impact. \nPublic Interest Data Literacy (PIDLit) Learning Lab\, “Tackling Food Insecurity” is presented by Kokou Efou (Undergraduate Psychology Major\, RDS Student Assistant) and Nicole Frysh (Undergraduate Anthropology Major\, PITLit Representative)\, Georgia State University Library: Research Data Services (RDS) Department.
