The Twin Cities Innovation Alliance (TCIA) is the host home for the national No Tech Criminalization in Education (NOTICE) Coalition. The NOTICE Coalition supports a national movement to end the use of data and technology that surveils, polices, and/or criminalizes young people and their communities. NOTICE achieves this by supporting organizations and communities as they learn about and engage in organizing around the use of Big Data, Algorithms, and AI; ensuring that when local school districts and their partners propose technological solutions and invest resources, they do so with the knowledge, input, and consent of the communities they are serving.
Through support from the Data Funders Collaborative NOTICE is launching their 2024 national No Data About Us Without Us Fellowship. This fellowship will support organizers, their organizations, and communities as they research and explore their EdTech landscape, define and envision with their community the use/refusal of said technologies and identify steps to move towards collectively. Fellows will participate in a learning cohort, access NOTICE organizers and tech experts connected with the field, and engage with communities that have successfully challenged the acceptance of criminalizing technologies in their schools.
