The Foundry is a platform for Internet law and policy professionals to engage. For close to 20 years the Internet Education Foundation has been building the most prominent platforms for engagement. The Foundry team is bringing to bear all of IEF’s expertise and capacity to catalyze the Foundry. Other IEF projects include:
The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee is the most prominent and industrious educational program on Capitol Hill for Internet policy. Its mission is to harness the collective policy expertise of Internet stakeholders — public interest groups, trade associations, non-profits, and Internet companies. It’s a neutral platform where thought leaders debate important technology issues that shape legislative and administration policy in an open forum.
The State of the Net is America’s premier Internet policy conference series. It brings together Internet stakeholders in government and in the private sector to explore the potential of a decentralized global Internet to promote communications, commerce and democracy.
Congressional App Challenge Coalition promotes computer coding skills and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education by recognizing and incentivizing our nation’s young programming talent. The Coalition proudly serves as the official STEM advisor to the House of Representatives’ Student App Challenge.
