Learn about the intersection of empathy, technology, and social justice as Jurnell Cockhren, founder of Sophicware, shares insights from his decade-long experience in open source software and applied sciences. Discover how open data, collaboration, and civic tech can be leveraged to minimize societal inequalities. Examine concepts such as decision problems, NP complexity, and the axiom of choice in relation to social issues. Gain a unique perspective on using coding skills to induce positive social change and create a more equitable world.
