What will I learn?

Overview

Afro-Rithms is a world-building card game designed to create anti-racist futures and imagine new, more equitable, and inclusive visions of the future. This short-format weekend course incorporates design thinking methods in an interactive workshop format. 

How do you design with the Afro-Rithm in mind? Students will explore anti-racist futures, world building, systems and artifacts design. 

Together, we’ll discover how Afro-Rithms can become a vital part of the DNA in students’ own creative practice, along with supporting entrepreneurial product development.
