Future Fields
Future Fields is a creative innovation studio, launched in 2016 in response to the greatest crisis known to humanity - the crisis of imagination. We believe that the most exciting historical, social and scientific discoveries are yet to be made... That the most advanced interfaces, technologies and platforms are yet to be created... And that the most engaging stories are yet to be told. Our studio specializes in unlocking the imagination. We support individuals, communities and organizations to turn their uncertainty about the 21st Century into inspiration and preparation. We apply this design principle to the human experience at home, at work and at play. Since the beginning of the program in 2016 in Los Angeles, Future Fields has run programs for youth and adults in America, Europe and Southeast Asia. We have served learners and addressed topics and skills that don't typically fit within traditional schools or offices. As a result, thousands of learners have engaged critically and creatively with their own futures for the first time.
