All projects at SF Civic Tech are:
10% of students in SFUSD have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) that details specific academic and behavioral goals. Data collection is both the backbone and achilles heel of this system. Good data provides guidance and proof of progress but is also onerous to collect. Let’s help our teachers and students by making data collection simpler, more flexible and maybe even a little fun.
UX Research: Figma
Engineering: Figma, Typescript, Next.js, Postgres

Our target users are people who live or work in San Francisco and want to support local schools but don’t know how. This is a fun and important project to bring transparency, engagement, and dollars to the school district.
Our MVP will focus on helping people connect with schools near where they live or work, and to find where to donate their money or volunteer their time. Beyond the MVP, we’re building a centralized place for data about schools in SFUSD, what resources they have, and what support from the community they’re looking for.

As of Feb 2023, we are beginning the Design phase and recruiting Designers.
Intentional Walk is a community program based on the baseball strategy of deliberately walking an opposing player to first base. In partnership with the SF Department of Public Health, we released the proof of concept application, welcoming over 500 users into the 2020 pilot and exceeding DPH’s goal for the initial test. Plans for the future include a 2021 release to support a production number of users.
Android, iOS, SQL, React Native, Python, Figma

Everyday, paramedics make life and death decisions when choosing where to take patients. And they have to rely on their own experience to make the right choices.
The current $2m/year application used by the city is inadequate, so TeamBATS is piloting an app that helps paramedics know which ERs have available beds, and ERs can learn about patients who are en route.
React, Node, Express, Postgres, Gatsby

Water The Trees is a platform that crowd sources tree planting and maintenance. We believe in the power of trees to restore natural habitat for animals, insects, and fauna. We are interesting in continuous massive tree planting events to help sequester carbon and stabilize climate change extremes.
Water the Trees is an open source project run by tree planting volunteers at Sierra Club, Public Works, and developers at Code for San Francisco.
React, Mapbox, Node, Postgres/PostGIS, Martin/Rust, Nginx, Docker
