About this Event
Join CoDesign Collaborative and Northeastern University's Center for Arts, Media & Design during Design Research Week (Boston) for an energizing, hands-on, gamified session. We’ll play “Thing from a CoDesigned Future” and imagine worlds beyond the status quo. In this playful, fast-paced experience, you’ll combine unexpected prompts — future worlds, everyday “things,” areas of impact, and codesign values — to spark fresh ideas about what inclusive, just, and imaginative futures might look like. Play Break will be led by Aidan Borer, Director of Human Insights at Human-ology and Board Chair at CoDesign Collaborative, a nonprofit with a mission to inspire social change through the transformative power of design.
Whether you’re a student, designer, professor, community member, or just future-curious, this session will:
- Introduce a lightweight, participatory game you can use with your own peers or community.
- Encourage joyful, radical imagination about how we can redesign systems and everyday experiences.
- Connect with other change makers who care about designing for equity and belonging.
You’ll leave with:
- Provocative future concepts generated collaboratively in the session.
- A playable digital tool you can keep using in your own work.
All are welcome!
