Immersive Future Scenario
Create a scenario that paints the picture of life in 2027.
The requirements:
1. Be immersive, 360 degrees and rich (visually and informationally)
2. Allow the viewer to feel the future scenario, use a protagonist (or user) to walk us through your scenario
3. Integrate this with research and environmental scanning
4. Integrate three scenario projections:
· Preposterous
· Projected
· Preferred
Don’t play it safe especially with your preposterous scenario, push the boundaries to understand the extremes.
Mass Migration is the New Normal
Global Climate Change has been finally accepted by all, it’s now an undeniable reality. Planet Earth’s surface has also changed, the sea levels have risen, leaving space only for the unbearable heat waves of the desert and the chaos of the overcrowded cities.
Based on the logline which was inspired by the concept development for the future scenario forecasted, a movie trailer and posters were crafted as our narrative form of choice.
The trailer is available on here.

MIT Climate CoLab & NIKE: Materials Matter Challenge
Fabrics and textiles impact our climate -- a lot. How can we spark a materials revolution by rethinking how we value and use them?
The materials we use to clothe ourselves and cover our things have a profound impact on the climate. They are all around us – in the furniture we sit on, the cars we drive and the clothes we wear. The fact is, materials matter.
Developing new material compositions and reducing the impact of fabric production is necessary, but not sufficient to reduce the climate impact of industries that rely on fabrics.
Before we can advance and scale innovation in materials, we need to build a common understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist by redefining society’s relationship with fabrics and textiles.
It is necessary to communicate a shared sense value to increase demand for lower impact options - from raw material to products to low impact usage.

Leading Endeavors with Action and Purpose
During the Fall 2015 Semester we were invited by the co-directors of the MS-SDM program – Rhea Alexander and Raz Godelnik – to start and lead the Entrepreneurship Club.
Since then, we came together to discuss our shared interest in entrepreneurship to address how to meet our needs to further enhance our experience here at The New School as part of our transition to the professional environment.
LEAP ntrepreneurship Club at The New School – an acronym that stands for Leading Endeavors with Action and Purpose – emerged as a shared entrepreneurial spirit to be propositive actors for the development of student led ventures for specific managerial and leadership skills.
We think of this space to be understood by incoming cohorts as a dynamic process to foster the impact of the program along the further advancement, adaptation and transformation of core competences demanded by a complex and vertiginous changing reality.
