In the show Melanie Adcock interviewed me and my collaborate Eileen about our twitter bot project at Chicago Hack Night. Working with civic technologist and community members at the weekly civic hack group, we built a simple twitter bot that combats online ignorance by providing curated lessons to the person you tag at. Lessons are curated by community members and include topics such as “pipeline problem in STEM education”, accessibility in the city of Chicago, and other contemporary and historical social issues. Tweechable moment enlightens your conversations, so you don’t have to go down the rabbit hole of another social media war.
