| ## Syllabus | ||
|
|
||
| <<<<<<< HEAD | ||
| This course will examine the ways in which emerging technologies can empower individuals and promote a more coherent society. Through the lens of blockchain, cryptography, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), students will explore how these technologies can promote collective decision-making and reduce power imbalances on today's digital platforms. By examining the history and development of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tezos, as well as the emergence of NFTs, students will gain a deeper understanding of the social and ethical implications of emerging technologies. | ||
| This workshop focuses on developing and testing co-design methodologies for the creation of new cards for the Atlas of Weak Signals card deck. Students will engage in embodied research activities aimed at exploring alternative and pluralistic futures to identify and visualize weak signals — emerging trends or phenomena that may have significant impacts in the future. Through collaborative design exercises, the students will actively participate and shape the AOWS co-design methodology. Students will gain insights into embodied research methodologies – while contributing to the expansion of the Atlas of Weak Signals card deck. | ||
| | ||
| ## Learning Objectives | ||
|
|
||
| • Understand the potential impact of blockchain and cryptocurrency on society, including the implications for governance, finance, and social systems. | ||
|
|
||
| • Explore the principles of cryptography and decentralized technologies, including the role of smart contracts and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). | ||
|
|
||
| • Analyze the potential advantages and disadvantages of decentralized systems, including their ability to promote collective decision-making and reduce power imbalances. | ||
|
|
||
| • Develop skills in critical thinking and evaluation, as well as an understanding of the social and ethical implications of emerging technologies. | ||

|
|
||
| ## Schedule | ||
|
|
||
| ## Structure and Phases | ||
| === "Day 1" | ||
|
|
||
| The course will use the MDEF room at P102 and the FabLab Educational room to access tools and other space necessities. A big screen (proyector/tv) will be used for both students and teachers presentations. | ||
| Workshop sessions will be divided into five on each other building moments. | ||
| - Revisiting the AOWS - Collective sharing round and reflection | ||
| - Horizon scanning exercise - Materializing trends in the polycrisis | ||
| - CIPHER methodology application for identified themes - Utilizing existing methods to frame signals and test it for their validity | ||
| - Polarization and provocation - A critical reflection on the identified signals | ||
| - Creative expression of the newly identified cards | ||
|
|
||
| The Communication department will provide equipment and team support on the last days of the workshop to asses the student on videography and filmmaking techniques. | ||
| ## Deliverables | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Materials Needs | ||
|
|
||
| All materials needed for the course will be provided by the faculty. The students are required to bring to the classes their laptop, their own students toolkit and the programming boards given to them at the start of the academic year, other development boards, sensors and actuators will be provided during the workshop. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Requirements for Students | ||
| Softwares to be installed, material, specific knowledge, etc. | ||
| It is required to have a laptop. | ||
| We will use Temple wallet software for Tezos: https://templewallet.com/ | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Deliverables / Outputs | ||
|
|
||
| Student will develop a project during the workshop that will be presented on Friday and can improve and send a final version 1 week after the workshop,19th May. The project can range from a NFT collection, to a white paper or presentation of an idea for a project using web3 (like a DAO or new cryptocurrency or any other idea that connects to the topics cover in the course). | ||
| <<<<<<< HEAD | ||
|
|
||
| Students are requested to submit all the material requested by the faculty + their reflections about the seminar on the MDEF repository on GitLab https://mdef.iaac.net/ within a maximum of 1 week after the students’ submission deadline. | ||

| >>>>>>> b7c496e1b1343521d1459462b179de6d813f27c0 | ||
| Each team will be tasked with prototyping a new area of the Atlas of Weak Signals (AOWS) along with its connected cards (up to five weak signals). Throughout this process, teams will reflect on the factors that may have hindered their ability to think critically and explore unconventional ideas. They will consider the tools and resources necessary to uncover unseen and unheard stories, allowing them to identify weak signals effectively. By critically evaluating their approach and identifying potential barriers they are invited to think beyond conventional boundaries and how to include pluralistic approaches in their design practice. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Grading Method | ||
|
|
||
| The projects submitted will be graded base on: | ||
|
|
||
| - Participation in the course: 20% | ||
| - Originality idea: 40% | ||
| - Creative use of technology: 30% | ||
| - Friday Presentation: 10% | ||
|
|
||
| Students who submit after the deadlines defined by the faculty and coordination will be subject to penalty and the grade will be automatically lowered. Incomplete submission is considered a missing submission. T | ||
