Roblox Design Fiction 101 Workshop

An opportunity for a creative team to "stretch & express" their imagination to have a break from grueling design, development, and deployment cycles. A fun, engaging learning & development off-site.

2) An approximately three hour hands-on Design Fiction workshop exercise using in which attendees break into a few groups of 2-3 and use the insights gained during the first hour, along with the Near Future Laboratory’s Design FictionProduct Design Work Kit to explore the creative potential of Design Fiction.

3) Q&A interspersed throughout.
