SUMMARY:It's Our Phalt: Mapping Safer Streets\, Byte by Byte
DESCRIPTION:Cycling is one of the most sustainable ways to move through a city. More riders means safer streets and a healthier city for everyone. But for cycling to be accessible\, it has to be safe. \nUsing Level of Traffic Stress (LTS)\, a framework developed by urban planning researcher Peter Furth\, Our Phalt rates every street in NYC on a scale from 1 to 4 based on speed limits\, number of lanes\, and the presence or type of cycling infrastructure. Layered with NYC collision data and other public datasets\, the project helps cyclists identify safer routes and highlights where infrastructure improvements are needed most. \nOur Phalt is as much a map as it is a journalistic endeavor: a way to visualize the city’s cycling infrastructure gaps and shift the conversation around street safety.

SUMMARY:QUWA Labs Presents: AI Bias Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join QUWA Labs for an interactive book club experience that transforms how we understand AI bias in our daily lives. Participants will read and discuss a curated article exploring real-world cases of algorithmic bias\, from discriminatory hiring tools to biased healthcare algorithms\, then engage in a facilitated group discussion where diverse perspectives illuminate the human impact of these technological decisions. \nThis isn’t just about identifying problems; it’s about discovering solutions. Following our discussion\, attendees will experience a brief presentation showcasing how technologists\, activists\, and communities are actively building fairer AI systems and using technology as a tool for justice and equity. Participants will leave with concrete actions they can take to advocate for algorithmic accountability in their own communities.

SUMMARY:Echoes and Edifices: Monuments of Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:Lebanon Through Time: A Digital Journey \nLebanon is one of the world’s oldest cultural crossroads\, home to extraordinary monuments that span thousands of years—from ancient Phoenician cities to Roman temples and later civilizations that shaped the Mediterranean world. Despite this remarkable historical depth\, Lebanon’s cultural heritage remains underrecognized and often absent from broader public awareness. \nThis pop-up presentation introduces a digital repository built on the Omeka platform that documents and maps key archaeological and cultural sites across Lebanon. The project combines interactive mapping with carefully curated metadata and\, at its center\, a collection of striking\, high-quality photographs that capture both the scale and detail of these remarkable places. \nVisitors are invited to explore an accessible\, visually rich platform that highlights the beauty\, complexity\, and historical significance of Lebanon’s monuments. The project also gestures toward the challenges these sites face today\, including neglect\, environmental pressures\, and the long-term effects of conflict. \nStop by to experience these stunning sites\, discover their stories\, and gain a deeper appreciation for a country whose cultural importance is far greater than its visibility in contemporary discourse.

SUMMARY:FixIt - AI Facilities Operations Platform
DESCRIPTION:FixIt is an AI-powered facilities management platform built by computer science students at City College of New York. It transforms the way buildings are maintained\, from fragmented email chains\, phone calls\, and spreadsheets into structured\, queryable\, real-time operational data. \nThe platform centers on a multimodal AI pipeline: a staff member photographs a maintenance issue\, and within seconds the system automatically classifies it\, assigns priority\, generates a description\, and routes it for dispatch\, all without manual data entry. A live operations map gives facility managers geographic visibility over every active issue across multiple buildings simultaneously. An AI assistant lets non-technical managers ask plain-English questions and receive answers grounded in live operational data. \nGreat software can come from anywhere\, and New York residents deserve the latest technology. New York’s public institutions deserve the same operational intelligence that private real estate has had for years.

SUMMARY:C3 Climate Week CUNY Research Expo
DESCRIPTION:This September\, CUNY Climate Consortium (C3) is teaming up with CUNY PIT Lab to highlight and connect the many ways the CUNY community is participating in Climate Week NYC. \nThis year\, we are excited to host the C3 Climate Week CUNY Research Expo on Wednesday\, September 23 at the NYC PIT Pop Up at the Oculus World Trade Center. We would love to see work from across the CUNY community represented—including graduate and master’s students\, faculty\, research teams and labs\, centers and institutes\, programs\, and initiatives. \nThe Expo is designed as an informal\, public-facing showcase of climate-related work. This might include a research project or body of work\, lab or research group\, center or institute\, ongoing initiative\, dataset\, map or visualization\, tool\, technology\, demonstration\, or another form of climate-related work you would like to share with a broader audience. Anyone within the wider CUNYverse is invited to submit their projects – fill out the form today! \nRather than functioning as a traditional academic conference\, the event will combine an open\, drop-in exhibition throughout the day with two scheduled “PIT Stop” presentation sessions (at 11:30am and 4:30pm)\, creating opportunities for both sustained interaction and short\, focused presentations.

SUMMARY:Climate Week: Macaulay Honors Fall Datathon Showcase (Day One)
DESCRIPTION:Macaulay Honors College Presents: Reimagining New York City! September 24-26 \n\nThis fall\, Macaulay Honors College will be hosting the culminating event of its annual Datathon in collaboration with Marcy Labs. This competitive event has attracted more than 300 students from across CUNY to tackle the real-world challenge of how to understand air pollution using the tools of data science\, data integrity\, and data storytelling. In advance of this event\, a shortlist of nine finalists will present their projects with the public at NYC PIT Pop Up during Climate Week 2026! \n\n\nOverall it appears that congestion pricing has been a success for NYC\, but that story is more complicated and nuanced. While there has been a 22% drop in air pollution\, this is a peak hour measurement and not a daily one. There has not been a daily change\, suggesting a shift in pollution — not an elimination. Taking a closer look across the boroughs\, The South Bronx is reporting a rise in particulate matter polluting the air. It’s possible that this is due to diverting traffic looking to avoid the congestion relief zone. \n\n\n\nThe datathon participants will be presenting mapping models that begin to tell the overall traffic migration story and show how optimistic the impacts that congestion pricing has had on the city in terms of air quality truly is. These maps will factor in air quality\, traffic and congestion pricing data. \n  \nTo help us kick off this three-day series\, we’ll be joined by the team from OpenPlans.org\, who will be sharing their work to promote a people-first street culture that prioritizes community\, active mobility\, and connection.

SUMMARY:State Capacity AI Hackathon: Public Engagement
DESCRIPTION:*Taking place at The Graduate Center! RSVP here.* \nWant to use technology to improve how government works? \n​In June\, 80 people used AI to prototype 20 tools that can transform how government delivers services. A few of those tools continue to be built. \n​We’re hosting another hackathon (improved with your feedback!) for civic technologists\, government practitioners\, researchers\, advocates\, and anyone who wants to build tools that help government deliver. \n​The theme for this hackathon is Public Engagement: \n\n\n​Community Board (CB) Operations — CBs want tools that help them run more efficiently and make decisions faster. Build a Meeting Assistant agent to support parliamentary procedure and resolution writing. Create a Knowledge Base chatbot to speed up new member onboarding. Build a Tracker that connects resolutions to relevant agencies and follows outcomes. \n\n\n​Public Voice At Scale — Governments receive an incredible amount of feedback. They need tools that facilitate inclusive\, equitable\, and effective democratic participation. What 311 complaint patterns can you identify – and how might you highlight voices missing from the data? What problems might be solved by leveraging social media and other unstructured feedback channels? How can AI and tech help agencies seek out and digest input from historically underserved and underheard constituents? \n\n\n​Judge Specials — Hear what’s been frustrating our Judges day-of and meet the moment by building solutions to their problems! \n\n\n​Brought to you by the State Capacity Ecosystem team\, Civic Roundtable\, and the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab with the simple goal of forcing collisions between government and technology. \n​Thank you to Judges Raj Korpan\, Jeremy Ney\, and Sara Lind! More to be announced.
