Next on the Big 5, CCHub has called on to innovative thinkers to submit for the GovLab Idea Pitch. The call is a for innovative thinkers with ideas that promote citizen participation in law and policy-making, bridges the gap in the election process and drives student participation in University governance. The finalists will gain access to $5000 seed funding, mentorship to support projects through rapid prototyping and piloting, physical resources such as office space, high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and other facilities.
