Tech 4 Community

What is Tech4Community

Innovative Technology + Social Work + Community Involvement = Long-term Positive Change

Tech4Community is envisioned to be a space where engineers and social workers come together to create positive social change in Columbus, OH.  

By partnering together, students and professionals from both fields are better equipped to find high-tech solutions to the complex challenges present in our local communities.

Both engineers and social workers have a very important common goal: to apply knowledge of the sciences to solving real world problems. This common approach makes a partnership between these two disciplines complementary and absolutely integral when looking at community needs/assets.

Using models of needs assessment and solution-matching, Tech4Community is currently working on multiple projects here in Columbus.  See below for more details and contact us in order to get involved.
