Last week, we headed to Mountain View, California to participate in the Revolutionaries series at the Computer History Museum. What an honor to have been included in the lineup — here’s a quick overview of what went down.

We kicked off the program with a clip from the Daily Show about “guys in hoodies” who are bringing the government into the 21st century. Well, we are proud to say that some of us can rock a hoodie AND a skirt. ;)

John Hollar, CEO of the Museum, moderated the discussion. The teams discussed their origin stories, successes and failures over the last year, and the projects that the teams are taking on in 2016 and beyond. As a tech startup inside one of the largest institutions in the world, we talked about what it means for government to embrace tech industry ideals and practices.
