This session will begin with a short talk on the history of automation and the current impact it has on the lives of people generally and communities locally (wherever local is for you!) Following the talk and short Q/A, participants will partake in a workshop that asks each person to design a non-autonomous technology, and a short blurb about its function, that centers a community of your choice. All drawing/sketch materials will be provided. All students, regardless of department or drawing skills, are welcome to the workshop.
