Bringing together courageous hearts and minds for social justice.
Conversations & Collaboration

Our regular group meetings help to foster creative solutions to challenges in the community.

About CAASI

We find innovative solutions to solve community challenges through designing and implementing solutions in the data science realm. Our projects come from local community organizations, who brainstorm data sources and potential solutions with us before any research teams are formed. We focus on providing practical, rapid prototypes for feedback.

Grief-to-Action

In June 2020, CAASI launched the Grief to Action (G2A) volunteering platform to build online platforms to support existing efforts against systemic racism. To date, over 150 volunteers (including 50+ non-Pitt community members) have contributed their expertise in our Friday noon weekly meetings.
