Speculative Climate Design
Feb 27, 2025
About
Design Redefined is a series of events seeking to challenge our perception of design as a process of enhancing aesthetics, usability, or marketability and moving towards a deeper understanding of it as a powerful tool for change.
Appropriate for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as design professionals, each session will feature a panel discussion featuring thought leaders, followed by a hands-on exploration of key design principles, light refreshments, and networking. Co-hosted by the MIT Museum, MAD and Innovators for Purpose.
Free with Museum admission. Seating is limited.
Designing Alternate Futures
This event explores how the process of designing alternative futures can deepen a learner's understanding of complex problems, positively impact one sense of self, and transform defeat into self-empowerment. Using climate change as a backdrop, a panel discussion will highlight current work using climate futurism to impact change. A hands-on speculative design exercise will challenge students to reimagine an alternate future unfettered by current constraints.
Free with museum admission. Free for teens.
