Tech & Ethics Club

WHAT WE DO

From hosted competitions to ethical design challenges, we focus on blending hands-on building with critical thinking. We hope to develop events where teams can start to think about how to tackle real social problems.

We will be hosting Tech workshops, teaching students, no matter the prior skill level, the basic necessities to build projects in order to produce a product for competitions.

We aim to support the students that work along with us, supplying them with the resources they need to build, as well as tasking ourselves with exploring connections with startups and nonprofits, allowing students to gain meaningful connections for potential future work.

ABOUT US

Tech & Ethics Club is a student-led community for everyone in tech - whether builders, coders, designers, or engineers. From Computer Science and robotics to AI, financial modeling, and beyond. We plan to host workshops, events, and hands-on challenges that push members to not only build amazing products, but to think deeply about why they’re building them, and who they’re building for.

Our philosophy is that technology isn’t neutral - it shapes the world around us. Thats why our club name is “Tech and Ethics”. We explore the ethical impact of innovation with the rise of recent technology, and challenge ourselves to design for equity, privacy, sustainability, and inclusion, creating a space for interdisciplinary collaboration.

No matter your prior knowledge - where a beginner or expert, a roboticist or a web developer, this is a club where you can learn, build, compete, and grow, all while asking the big questions about tech’s role in our society.

OUR COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL TECHNOLOGY

Ethics are at the heart of everything we do. Our small team cares deeply about the future of responsible use of tech in our world. That's why ethical considerations and the teachings of it are central to our workshops and hackathons and partnerships.

Our hackathons don't just ask "can we build this?", they demand we ask "should we build this?" and "who benefits or gets harmed?" Every coding challenge requires decisions centered around accessibility, privacy, and social impact. Our workshops go beyond teaching purely technical skills. They explore topics like algorithmic fairness, data ethics, surveillance capitalism, and the environmental cost of digital systems.

We may examine real-world case studies where technology has caused harm, like biased hiring algorithms to exploitative gig economy platforms. And conversely explore ethically innovative technological practices like ‘the right to repair’ and ethical AI training. We practice inclusive design thinking, study the social implications of emerging technologies, and challenge each other to consider whose voices are missing from the development process.

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Our commitment to creating an inclusive, respectful space where all members, regardless of skill level, can contribute meaningfully is of utmost importance. Our values shall be adhered to by all members: these values include the use of constructive dialogue, the encouragement of diverse perspectives, and maintaining a supportive environment for questioning and learning about complex ethical issues.
