Deets: The NYC PIT Pop-Up (aka NYC Public Interest Tech Pop-Up) is a temporary, immersive, pop-up event where technology, art, science, and community converge. For ten days, a storefront space in the South Concourse of the iconic Oculus/World Trade Center Transit Hub will become part gallery, part workshop, and part future commons. This shared space for co-creation and imagination will showcase how technology can be designed to serve justice, equity, and community empowerment. This event has been organized by the CUNY PIT Lab in partnership with BetaNYC and the support of the Public Interest Tech University Network (PIT-UN).
What You’ll Find Inside:
Daily Demos & Performances: From civic tech tools to protest art and abolitionist projects, partners across NYC will activate the space with opportunities for hands-on experiences
Visioning Games: A collective narrative will emerge over the 10 days that will shape building a cross-sector space to generate opportunities for public interest tech in action for the future of New York City and beyond.
Feedback Wall: People power is needed to direct the future of tech. Visitors will be encouraged to leave their ideas behind and invited to watch them grow even after they leave.
Zine Station: On-site PIT zine making with student and community partners.
Livestream & Jamboard: Broadcasting to PIT-UN and beyond, feeding NYC ideas into national conversations.
Atmosphere: Music, audio storytelling, and creative design vibes that are explore themes of the utopian as well as dystopian futures of NYC.
Community Hangout: events including a NYC Mayoral Election watch party, hackathons, and conversations with grassroots groups.
Partnering with Synergystic Activities: The premiere of a new documentary from Roadtrip Nation, NY PIT Regional Hub meeting, and more.
