What will happen in your session?

We live in an era in which we’re constantly bombarded with information and, simultaneously, in which our data is collected everywhere we go. It’s hard to process and often leaves us feeling disempowered and vulnerable. But there’s a better way--likely lots of them! How might we make data collection and usage more secure, playful and--dare we say--delightful? Let’s consider better sensemaking for data from collection, synthesis, sharing, through to regular study.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

From user testing sessions that don’t feel like a bore to displaying data for your city in comprehensible ways that go beyond infographics, this session aims to answer the question: how might we better use play to improve the user experience of data so that the people can deeply (and joyfully) engage with data that is useful to them?
