Goals

Bits of Good VIP partners with the Bits of Good student organization to build custom software for nonprofits, enhancing social good through technology. Students must join BoG for team roles, training, and mentorship, and VIP participation includes midterm reviews, special lectures, and reflections for grading. The program empowers students to develop tech skills while making a community impact, addressing nonprofits’ urgent technology needs. Additionally, the team explores social software solutions aligned with UN sustainability goals, such as No Poverty, Zero Hunger, and Gender Equality, aiming to spread social awareness and use technology to improve the world.
