In a world where internet access is a basic necessity, millions of schools remain offline — a gap that UNICEF's Giga initiative is working to close. In this session, we'll explore the technical journey behind Giga's emerging open-source platforms that support its mission to connect every school to the internet.

From handling geospatial data and real-time connectivity metrics to ensuring government interoperability and user-friendly dashboards, this talk will showcase how open source software is laying the foundation for global collaboration at the intersection of tech, education, and equity.

We'll share live demos, early lessons from country deployments, and where we hope to go next — as we open source our codebase and scale with the broader tech community. If you're passionate about building civic tech for good, join us on this growing journey to bridge the digital divide.
