Details

In this fast-paced role-play workshop, teams will encounter a rapidly-developing ethical problem in their design for a video generation product, and face the real pressures engineers face in these situations (jobs, promotions, money and so on). You├óÔé¼Ôäóll make choices, defend your positions, get scored on how well you accomplish your goals ├óÔé¼ÔÇØ and experience the ethical challenges of tech design in a vivid way. This exercise simulates the ├óÔé¼┼ôAgile├óÔé¼┬Ø methods that teams use at all the big tech companies ├óÔé¼ÔÇ£ so you├óÔé¼Ôäóll learn more about work at these firms (incl. from our visiting Googler) and explore the potential for using engineering methods to make an ethical impact.
