What happens when a design process for creating & improving products, services, systems & societies is blended with the values & beliefs of the Code2040 community? Let’s find out together. Calling all friends of the show wanting to learn about “human-centered design” animated about our democratic values! Values Code2040 champions what are now part of the 199 words banned earlier this year. This workshop animates these forbidden words and the values they represent by helping participants learn design frameworks and techniques that will be applied to strengthen Code2040’s future. How can the organization that brought us together make it to the year 2040 if using words from our own Declaration of Independence scares people away, like “equality”? Come. We need your curiosity to learn and apply a design process to help your professional career and our shared future.
