DEZINE for Builders and Hackers

ModupeOreoluwa (Mo) Alabi

Design Thinking for Builders and Hackers is a 90-minute, hands-on workshop that uses a collaborative game to introduce design thinking through real-world technology and social challenges. Working in small teams, participants tackle problems in areas like privacy, AI, surveillance, and censorship resistance while navigating realistic constraints that force creative, human-cente red solutions. This workshop encourages rapid ideation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and fresh perspectives on how to build technology that works in complex, resource-constrained contexts.
