Course Title: Innovations in National Security and Tech Policy This class is designed to bring together policy, technology, and entrepreneurship with a focus on national security innovation and tech policy.

There will also be a variety of guest speakers: policymakers and technologists serving in the Biden administration, leaders in academia surrounding ethics and security, as well as venture capitalists and startup founders. Finally, there will be an opportunity to work on a hands-on project with clients on a topic such as creating policy to improve information sharing between private sector and public sector, developing products that enhance autonomous vehicle usage in disaster response scenarios, or shaping policy about cryptocurrency and NFT use in government.
