Unleash Your Ingenuity: The Playground for Engineers

Transforming How We Think, Connect, and Create

A 5 Session Workshop for Creative Sensemaking

The Playground for Engineers is a unique, judgment-free space where you'll discover the powerful intersection of your passions and talents. Learn to make sense of complex concepts and apply these critical thinking skills to broader societal challenges, fostering curiosity and building healthier communities.

What You'll Experience: This immersive 5-week workshop is designed to make you more comfortable and productive in "sensemaking." We combine:

· Improvisation: For adaptable thinking and spontaneous problem-solving.

· Storytelling: To transform complex data into compelling narratives.

· Presentation Skills: To articulate your insights with clarity and impact.

We'll explore how these imaginative tools augment your technical skills, empowering collective understanding, broadening participation in science, and protecting its integrity.

Who Should Join? Anyone eager to enhance their critical thinking, collaborative skills, and ability to navigate complex information – from engineers and scientists to artists and communicators.
