Chapter 1
Innovate
Software shouldn't just be for the corporations to earn tons of money. It should basically be here to help everybody in the world.
Chapter 2
Iterate
The team is here in Bogotá, Colombia to meet with UNICEF Bogotá stakeholders as well as members of the Colombian government to understand more about their data usage and needs surrounding children, poverty, socioeconomic data, and risk factors.
