NotYetPossible Futures Cards
A deck of NotYetPossibleFutures Cards as a tool to prompt students think of the unfamiliar, out-of-the-ordinary, weird, ridiculous ideas -useful in triggering imaginations
I've developed a deck of Futures Cards, I call them NotYetPossible. I find them useful in triggering imaginations, as a tool to prompt students think of the unfamiliar, out-of-the-ordinary, weird, ridiculous ideas.
Students were asked to randomly draw 3 cards from a deck of 99 cards and use them to create a short story in 2 minutes. Just a quick and fun activity.
I run this activity before I introduce scenarios. There was always some interesting reactions -- "oh wow, OMG, What!!, this is crazy! how to think?" Students seemed to be a bit weary, almost scared to use those prompts to create stories. They seemed stuck with the dominant rules, systems, familiarities, quite afraid to step out into the unknown. I feel this was one of the main reasons for these cards.
Here's the link for the deck of NotYetPossible futures cards. Write to me should you need to download the deck.
