Design Fiction: Future of Sushi Workshop with IDEO

We have traveled far into the future and secretly brought back a few artifacts.
We can’t tell you what they are or else the space-time police will come chasing after us.
Therefore, you have been invited to examine these artifacts and imagine the future world with us!
Please help us decipher and imagine the future with our Design Fiction Workshop.
In the 90 minute workshop your group will co-examine artifacts, imagine the implications, and co-create the future.

Timeline:
11:15-11:30 Introduction
11:30-12:15 Future of Sushi Workshop
12:15-12:45 Co-creation (for only those who can stay)
