What is the FutureVersary?

 

An online learning event showcasing the work of the Stanford d.school K12 Lab community. We shared stories of design, invited guests to experience our new prototypes, and connected a community of educators to shape and design the future of learning together.

Sessions

 

Futures

Explore the intersections of futures thinking and design as participants travel to the past and step into the future to craft more equitable futures with and for students.

 

Learning Science

Explore the connection between learning science and culture. Unpack the role culture plays in our brains as we process and organize information and strategize how we might utilize this connection to support deeper, relevant learning.

Scaling Impact

Social impact oftentimes involves systems, relationships, and consequences that are difficult to understand and represent in simple terms. Make your thinking explicit, and see how your thinking changes when you deploy different metaphors for scale and spread.

Voicebots: AI and Discriminatory Design

Explore how AI and machine learning are influenced by discriminatory design practices, and ways we can make these emerging technologies more equitable.

School Safety

Experience a new educational tool for changing the conversation about school safety! It’s a pack of post-it notes to prompt those conversations entitled: "Questions To Your Answers About School Safety”. Be the first on your block to try these out!

Designer Spotlight

Designers joined our expo to share and to talk about their experiences. View their affiliation and ways to connect with them.

 

We asked our participants to reflect on the year 2020 and to set intentions for 2021. Here are some reflections and intentions from our futurists!

"I used to think creating design challenges for virtual learning would be hard. And now I think it is possible. And because of that , this year I will be creating more opportunities to introduce design thinking virtually."
