Professional Feedback
CivicRoots is an exceptional Mouse project! The team targeted a difficult problem in today's society and thoughtfully considered solutions. Leveraging competitive research and data analysis, the team deeply investigated the problems today and how existing solutions fail. It's clear that they used careful product design thinking to build a feature-rich interactive application. Amazing work by the CivilRoots team!
Great approach to solving one of our most pressing current issues. I love how you are addressing both media literacy and ensuring that citizens know their rights to support the end goal of becoming an educated voter. Very smart to include a range of media to demonstrate how bias happens. I also love the name! I do have a question about how to you ensure that your chatbot is not exhibiting bias?
