175. Making the Future Playable

How can we make the future something people can experience, not just imagine? In this episode of Create Tomorrow, host Cassandra Napoli, Head of Consumer Forecasting at WGSN, speaks with Sasha Wallinger, Director of Marketing and Communications at the MIT Museum, a Massachusetts-based museum bringing MIT’s research to life through experiences that connect science, technology, art and design.

Sasha explains how the MIT Museum is evolving into a public lab and how its recent MIT Future Fest brought innovation to life through immersive, playful experiences.

Find out why experimentation and unfinished ideas matter, how play can support creativity at any age and why innovation depends less on a single breakthrough than on the people and perspectives that come together along the way
