The document proposes redesigning civic engagement through creating multidisciplinary student teams to develop software projects that address social issues. It outlines creating groups of students from different majors like design, computer science, and others to work with professors, mentors from firms, and non-profits to develop projects over a semester. The goal is to focus students on civic action, foster collaboration across disciplines, and produce tangible outcomes like apps or websites that can create social impact. This approach aims to provide an alternative channel for youth participation that leverages their skills and interests through project-based learning.
