Who we are
RapidFTR is a project developed by students at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) of New York University for Clay Shirky's Design For Unicef class. Their design is now in active production with guidance from UN staff, especially Pernille Ironside, a Child Protection Specialist in the UNICEF Emergencies Programme Division, developers from ThoughtWorks, and Clay Shirky and John Dimatos of ITP.
ThoughtWorks has donated the time of three developers to help build and test RapidFTR in the field, with other ThoughtWorks employees working on RapidFTR during lunch breaks and after hours. In addition, ThoughtWorks Studios has donated use of Mingle, their Agile Project Management solution.
