Summary:

In this program, participants learned and utilized the EBA method, practicing Data Collection, Data Analyzation, Data Visualization, and Storytelling. They observed and learned about the effects of the quick technological transformation, utilizing a human-centered design perspective to understand the possible disruptive impacts of integrating new technologies in society.

Participants learned about the field while investigating the following questions:

• How can we understand future society through the impacts of disruptive technologies, and how might these innovations redefine human relationships, cities, and resilience?
• How can Human-Centered Design guide the responsible application of disruptive technologies toward socially, economically, and environmentally resilient futures?
  

During the fieldwork, students engaged in discussions with different stakeholders to build a deeper understanding about technological integration. Then, each group showcased a diorama of their future city, highlighting possible implementations of technology in future daily life and strategies for resilient city design based on data flows and on tending to different human needs from the people living in the city.
