Think About! Konferenz (Tech, Design & Society)
Think About! ist eine Tech-Konferenz die ihren Fokus nicht nur auf Technologie
legt, sondern auch Design und unseren Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft betrachtet.
Sie steht für Inspiration, Rückzugsort und Willkommenskultur gleichermaßen.
Wir glauben, dass nur eine diversitäre Gesellschaft zu kritischem und konstruktivem Dialog in der Lage ist. Aus diesem Grund bringen wir Menschen zusammen, um gemeinsam neue Perspektiven zu schaffen. Lasst uns gemeinsam etwas bewegen!
Think About Technology!
Technologie ist essentieller Bestandteil nahezu aller Aspekte unseres Lebens. Wir präsentieren hochwertige Vorträge von Expert*innen diverser Branchen. Unter anderem werden folgende Themen beleuchtet: Software Entwicklung, Hardware und Software Hacking, Internet of Things, Künstliche Intelligenz und vieles mehr.

Think About Design!
Nahezu alles was wir Tag für Tag verwenden ist designed - von der App zum
Tracken des weiblichen Zyklus bis hin zur autonomen Maschine. Doch mit der
rasanten Entwicklung bildet sich eine Verantwortung gegenüber unserer
Gesellschaft. Deshalb möchten wir unter anderem über Design Ethics, Produkt
Design, UX Design sowie Kunst und Kultur sprechen.
Think About Society!
Technologie und Design formen unsere Gesellschaft in gleichem Maße wie unsere
Gesellschaft Einfluss auf jede Innovation hat. Diskriminierung, soziale und
wirtschaftliche Gerechtigkeit sowie gesellschaftliche Teilhabe sind nur ein
Auszug der Themen über die wir sprechen möchten.

Keynotes
Linda Rising "The Power of an Agile Mindset" (EN)
Research has identified what I like to call “an agile mindset,” an attitude that equates failure and problems with opportunities for learning, a belief that we can all improve over time, that our abilities are not fixed but evolve with effort. What’s surprising about this research is the impact of our mindset on creativity and innovation, estimation, and collaboration in and out of the workplace. I’ll share what we know so far about this mindset and offer some practical suggestions to help all of us become even more agile.

Mainstream
technology companies track us and gather information on all aspects of
our lives. This gives them intimate insight which they exploit for
financial gain. This socioeconomic system is known as surveillance
capitalism and has dire ramifications for human rights and democracy. In
this talk, we will outline how surveillance capitalism impacts our
rights and freedoms both as individuals and as a society. But we won’t
stop there. Surveillance capitalism is neither inevitable nor
unavoidable. We will cover both current and upcoming efforts to build a
bridge to a fairer future using ethical technologies.
Felienne Hermans "How to read code?" (EN)
In education, there is and has always been debate about how to teach. One of these debates centers around the role of the teacher: should their role be minimal, allowing students to find and classify knowledge independently, or should the teacher be in charge of what happens in the classroom, explaining students all they need to know? These forms of teaching have many names, but the most common ones are exploratory learning and direct instruction. While the debate is not settled, more and more evidence is presented by researchers that explaining is more effective than exploring in teaching language and mathematics and science.
So… might this true for programming education too? This talk outlines this history of programming education and additional beliefs in programming that lead to the prevalence of exploratory forms of teaching.
