Students work as historians, philosophers, writers and designers: examining evidence, debating responsibility and personhood, and using systems thinking to trace how an invention might affect individuals, communities and the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutcomes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of the programme, students will be able to:\u003cbr\u003e*Explain how scientific experiments and cultural ideas of the Romantic Age influenced Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein\u003cbr\u003e*Use historical evidence to distinguish fact, interpretation and imaginative reconstruction\u003cbr\u003e*Discuss ethical ideas including responsibility, consent, care, personhood and unintended harm\u003cbr\u003e*Apply systems thinking to identify how an invention might affect different people and environments\u003cbr\u003e*Use design thinking to define a problem, generate ideas, prototype a solution and improve it through feedback\u003cbr\u003e*Communicate a complex idea through writing, discussion, model-making or digital storytelling\u003cbr\u003e*Use AI as a tool for questioning or prototyping, while recognising the need for human judgement\u003cbr\u003e*Develop confidence in discussing open-ended questions that don’t have a simple answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis course combines history, science, philosophy and creativity around a story that continues to shape how society thinks about innovation. It encourages students to become imaginative creators, while asking them to consider responsibility, consequences and care. Students leave with the understanding that innovation is not just about what can be made. It also depends on asking what should be made and what might happen next. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis course is taught by Laura Silverman\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cresconova Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50080919552250,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/labs-courses.cresconova.org\/products\/frankensteins-future-lab","provider":"Cresconova Labs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
