In the Spring 2024 semester, 12 Northeastern students from The Burnes Center for Social Change's AI for Impact Co-op program worked alongside the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as part of InnovateMA, using generative AI to support the MBTA, MassHealth, The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, and MassDOT with impactful projects that will improve the delivery of services and programs for Massachusetts residents.

In this pioneering “product-based learning” program, teams wield AI as a tool for transformative innovation, turning ideas into measurable impacts in collaboration with the communities they are serving and under the expert guidance of seasoned professionals. This program builds on 20 years of experience building civic technologies with governments, civil society organizations and communities.
