- Description
- trubel&co (pronounced "trouble and co") champions underserved youth to tackle complex societal challenges using equitable data analytics, responsible technology, and inclusive design. We build youth power in the digital age by grounding career technical education with liberatory design and experiential learning. We empower the next generation with the opportunity and tools to fix the problems they care about the most. Our flagship program, Mapping Justice, teaches high school youth to design geospatial tools for social change, where students control their own narrative, explore the intersection of Race, Power, & Technology, and create digital apps & dashboards that tackle community-based challenges.
