Hack for Inclusion

Organizer of Hack for Inclusion; Presented by Breaking the Mold & Hacking DiscriminationBreaking the Mold is MIT Sloan's inititiative to combat bias, both implicit and explicit. The members of Breaking the Mold believe in equity of opportunity, inclusion, and diversity in the workforce. Breaking the Mold believes that business school is the perfect environment to begin discussing - and solving - many of the most pervasive bias and discrimination issues affecting the workplace, and beyond.Hacking Discriminationis a MIT Black alumni initiated group, including researchers and technologists from the MIT community.  We believe we can utilize technology and a truly inclusive design process to bear witness to discrimination in a way that can be used for future advocacy, build a community to support change, and generate tangible solutions to complex issues where bias and discrimination are critical factors.Together, we believe that people from multiple disciplines, perspectives and experiences are needed to make change in this area happen.
