Connected Citizen
Teaching Children about Road Safety by Programming Pocket Computers
This project will help children be safer around our roads.
The Connected Citizen Challenge explores how we can design and configure technology to support equitable citizen engagement around sociopolitical issues, support public consultation and democratic processes, and engage with policy makers.
Areas we’re interested in exploring:
- Misinformation, fake news and political participation
- Inequalities of connectedness
- Citizen data, sensemaking and collective action
- Digital public services and policymaking
