SUMMARY:Summer PIT Stop: "The Case of the Stolen Deed"
DESCRIPTION:Part 2/5 of our Summer PIT Stop workshop series – sign up HERE for sessions at 11:30am or 4:30pm!\nSomething strange is happening in the neighborhood: homes are vanishing on paper\, signatures are appearing like ghosts\, and property records may not be what they seem. In “The Case of the Stolen Deed”\, campers become Deed Detectives investigating the spooky world of deed theft: how it happens\, who it harms\, and why it matters. Then we’ll explore how smart contracts and blockchain technology could act like digital ghost-hunting tools\, helping communities track ownership\, spot suspicious changes\, and protect homes from disappearing into the shadows. \nThis workshop will explore blockchain technology and the ways in which smart contracts can help to protect housing rights\, prevent deed theft\, and minimize tentant-landlord issues. \nCan blockchain technology and smart contracts help to protect housing rights\, prevent deed theft\, and automate housing in NYC? \n\nMeet the Camp Leader: Brayan Daniel “BD” Feliz (he/him)\nHunter College\, Psychology \n \nBio: BD Feliz (Brayan Daniel Feliz) is a designer\, photographer\, researcher\, and writer. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in The Bronx\, BD’s work is rooted in community and committed to addressing the systemic injustices faced by underrepresented groups around the world. Grounded in storytelling and movement-building\, his interdisciplinary approach integrates design\, technology\, and research to amplify voices\, challenge dominant narratives\, and develop tools for a more democratized world. He is passionate about storytelling\, democratizing spaces\, and dismantling systems of oppression. \n\nAbout this series: The NYC PIT Pop Up is the place for a summer camp-inspired\, public interest technology series where curiosity\, creativity\, and community come together. Access is limited to the first 30 “campers”\, so sign up now! \nEach workshop will take place twice weekly\, an early “Lunch Session” and a later “After-work session.” Join us and trade the summer heat for cool conversations\, creative projects\, and hands-on technology workshops that make a difference. Unlock free swag and earn $10 per workshop with a potential for up to $50 in cash stipend for attendance.
