About Us

Envisioned as an organization that unites Duke tech talents through the nexus between tech, design and social good, the mission of Technify is to build a community of college students at Duke and beyond that strives to bridge the digital divide in Southeast Asia and drive social impact through technology. Technify will pursue this mission by connecting students with non-profit organizations and social enterprises through pro bono tech projects that range from developing a dynamic website that promotes the work of an NGO to building a web application to manage food donation logistics for an anti-food waste social enterprise. Technify members will work in teams on each project that would typically last for a semester; as teams emulate standard industrial practices such as the Agile development framework, Technify members will gain invaluable change-making opportunities and technical experiences for personal growth and future career advancement. This mission, should it be successful, will culminate in a community of budding tech talents that espouses the Duke spirit of 'Knowledge in the Service of Society' as they strive to bridge the digital divide faced by change-makers for a better tomorrow.
