Technology for the
Public Good

A student collective at Yale University uniting future technologists, policymakers, and advocates to build technology that serves everyone.

We believe that the most pressing challenges of our time—from climate to healthcare to democracy—require technologists who are equally fluent in ethics, policy, and community impact. PITSC bridges those worlds.

Workshops, speaker series, and coursework to develop the next generation of public interest technologists.

Community

A vibrant network connecting students across law, CS, public health, policy, and the humanities.

Impact

Real-world projects with nonprofits, government agencies, and civic organizations across Connecticut and beyond.
