Designers of the Future

Principal Designer Laura Seargeant Richardson will give the keynote “The Medium Doesn’t Matter” at the Sandbox Summit at MIT next week. The focus of her talk is on the increasing importance of involving play across all platforms as an important training ground for kids to understand greater complexity and introduce new ways of seeing. Laura explores how the medium won’t matter for this; it will simply be another toy waiting for interpretation, manipulation and imagination by the child.

The children in the video are creating their own ways of seeing by identifying design solutions using their most sophisticated tool: their imagination.

If you are interested in attending the Sandbox Summit, registration is currently open.
