NYC BigApps 2013 BigIssues Survey

NYC BigApps 2013 is launching soon and will focus on key City challenges (aka 'BigIssues') that participants can help solve! Please fill out this brief survey to suggest this year's BigIssues and to highlight potential supportive resources you or others can provide.

By way of example, Income Mobility and Workforce Development is one BigIssue we've finalized for 2013. This BigIssue will incentivize the development of applications that help underserved populations access workforce development opportunities (e.g., job listings, skills trainings, etc.) and worker support services (e.g., childcare, healthcare, access to food, transit, etc.).

We look forward to your other great ideas.

Thanks!
The NYC BigApps Team
