How We Can Use Stories and Objects to Imagine the Future

To embrace futuring, we have the capacity to use today's trends, the discipline of storytelling as well as the fun of prototyping to imagine possible futures. This approach provides a robust way we can imagine the high-level as well as details of what our futures can manifest for us. In this brief workshop, Jason Napolitano and Chris Hill will guide you several exercises connecting scenarios (stories) to prototypes (objects) to expand possibilities and allow you to understand the implications of your ideas within new possible worlds.
