Hardest questions evaluated & reworded monthly
New question language A/B tested continuously

"You leverage technology to bring old ideas into new dimensions and what you do changes lives." @rodneymullen at #CfASummit connects civic tech with skateboarding. "The vast majority of what we do is fall and get back up"
