Volunteers Needed to Engage with Speculative Robotics Lab
Every Friday Through March 28
11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Sessions Every Half Hour
Innovation Advancement Suites, Office #8, Suite 1250

 
Care takes many forms, and its future is full of possibilities. The speculative robotics lab is dedicated to imagining and prototyping new ways care might unfold—particularly in hospital settings—through speculative design and futuring.

NIC Partners and the Lincoln community are invited to playtest and co-create future care scenarios where robotics and design intersect with human experience. Participants will engage through ideation, drawing, writing and methods from theater, movement and live-action role-play, transforming physical space into narrative stages for imagination.

Each session is 30 minutes. Anyone is welcome to stop by, engage with the speculative and contribute to shaping the future of care.
