While facing climate, social, and digital emergencies, one question stands out: what if engineers and developers used their skills to tackle the challenges of our time?
🎯 As a nonprofit organization, Latitudes brings together people committed to using technology for the common good. Since 2017, Latitudes has supported companies, schools, and students in integrating social, ethical and environmental concerns into tech professions.
🛠️ In practical terms:
✅ Impact-driven training in engineering and design schools
✅ Tech projects in collaboration with nonprofits or local authorities
✅ A committed community rethinking digital practices
Their core belief: technology is not neutral, but if designed with the right priorities from the start, it can be a powerful lever for change.
👏 Hats off to Latitudes for this constructive, joyful and meaningful initiative. Tech for good isn’t a trend — it’s a movement.
