Overall, Citizen DAO is on a mission to solve root causes of the problems we face in health, housing, education, climate, finance, governance, & security. We’re starting Season 1 with a focus on climate, health, & housing.

Each season consists of four phases: Define, Design, Develop, Deploy

🎯 Define: Research sprints for identifying & defining the problems we’re trying to solve. We’ll curate & analyze the latest data available for each category. We’ll interview numerous people to understand the real problems experienced in delivering impact.

🎨 Design: Creative sprints focused on designing solutions to solve the problems we identified & defined. Moonshot ideas are preferable. We will collaborate in Figma and GitHub to get ready for the next phase.

💻 Develop: Software sprints focused on building the solutions we just designed. This phase will be like a traditional hackathon, but mixed with XPRIZE’s crowdsourced prize model. We all work out of the same open source GitHub repo making all code modular to create something like “Impact Legos.”

📈 Deploy: Deployment & refinement of what we just built. By this time, we’ll have a solid network of NGOs, DAOs, & key stakeholders ready to implement our solutions.

That wraps up a season. We’ll learn, iterate, and continue with subsequent seasons until we solve our biggest problems.

Our first meeting will be via Zoom on 4/28 @ 11:30 am CT.
