Creative Practice as Entry Points
Art and creativity translates complex ideas into tangible forms and shape new cultural paradigms. That is why we believe one of the most effective ways to change who shapes emerging technology is through creative practice.
We develop methods that open new paths into technology education and bring in people who wouldn't normally participate. If more people can get into these conversations, understand these tools, and think critically about them, then more people have a say in what gets built and who it actually serves.
Our approaches continuously adapt to our communities, our world, and our evolving technologies. New programs and entry points are constantly being developed to test and refine our model and how far it can reach.
