Uncertainty x Design: Educating for Possible Futures
Realizing possible futures starts in the here-and-now. The purpose of this presentation is to describe how we can support young people in becoming the creative authors of their own lives by approaching current and future uncertainties with an unshakeable sense of the possible. More specifically, this presentation describes how students can benefit from opportunities to exercise possibility thinking in the face of uncertainty by design. Insights for how to design educational experiences aimed at helping young people learn how and when to act on possibilities now and into the future will also be discussed.
