Announcing NYC[x] Cohort 3!

Written By Nick Di Stefano

USDR is excited to announce that applications are open for the 3rd cohort of NYC[x] Innovation Fellows. This is the third iteration of a fellowship model developed with the Mayor's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (MOCTO) of New York City. I was part of the second cohort. Through this fellowship, compassionate technologists are embedded into a specific team within New York City to tackle specific challenge over 10 weeks. 

This cohort will target:

  1. Make payments for parking tickets easier for NYC residents

  2. Build a request and tracking system to route critical supplies in times of crisis

  3. Convert physical forms into streamlined digitized forms for affordable housing residents

Learn more about the NYC[x] Innovation fellowship here. USDR is also hosting an information session this Thursday at 9:00 AM PT. You can register for this session via Zoom.
