As organizations, governments, and corporations face rapid change and uncertain times, new ways of designing for a far-off future are imperative. Human-centered design and design thinking focus on near future, this course will look at how to design for the longer-term. In this course, students will learn speculative design research techniques and gain hands-on experience with a variety of forecasting methods, including trendspotting, quantitative modeling, and STEEP analysis.
