Technologies are not neutral and neither are the societies into which they are introduced. As technology continues encroaching in our lives, how can we advance technology education for just futures?

The Civics of Technology Project shares research and curriculum and offers professional development that encourages teachers and students to critically inquire into the effects of technology on our individual and collective lives.

Technologies are not neutral.

This first assumption of our project is that technologies are not neutral tools, but embedded with biases. Technologies create new environments that have unintended, ecological, and disproportionate effects.

Societies are not neutral.

The second assumption of our project is that societies into which technologies are introduced are not neutral. Technologies often reinforce or amplify existing systems of oppression.
