Illustrating the Future in Numbers

A KMD class that uses data to illustrate what the future will look like in 2050.

A hybrid of Takeshiba and online.

Based on this course, which I took while a student, I developed educational materials for children and wrote my master’s thesis; I invited Yoko, a Polypro graduate who currently works at a TV station, to serve as a guest lecturer for this session.

I’m happy to see that many students in this class are continuing to work on their thesis topics even after graduation.
