Fascinated with large-scale challenges within today’s world, Data U is a project that allows him to exercise the system thinking skills: understanding why we don’t and can’t explain the implications of information technology, and learning to act as a designer within a society in desperate need to think better and engage with technology in more thoughtful ways.
