SpeedGeeking for Social Change

Join UCSC students from the Global Information Internship Program (GIIP) and learn how new technology can be used locally for social change. Interact with visual communication technology, mapping and mobile phones in new ways to promote peace, justice and sustainability in Santa Cruz and beyond.
