Government Needs Diverse Public Interest Technologists to Improve Services

A former fellow, Victoria Houed, mentioned TechCongress in her blog post on the Stanford Social Innovation Review:

This feeling of empowerment as a newly minted public interest technologist prompted me to apply to TechCongress, a year-long fellowship that places technologists into a congressional office or committee. I had no idea when I applied that I would end up working for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2020 or that two months after my arrival in Washington, DC, a deadly pandemic would begin.
