BOOTCAMP Big Data, Big Narrative for Cities In a social media saturated world, proliferated by unique observations, how can we derive a meaningful narrative of our city? This session, for both designers and policy makers, introduces strategies and techniques to aggregate data from popular media and create compelling urban narratives. The goal of this work is to influ- ence how cities are understood and more importantly to affect how they are adapted.

Traditional statistical based modeling cannot keep up with the energy sector's increasing demand for big data applications and intelligent analytics. Applying Artificial Intelligence in energy promises to unlock next generation predic- tion and detection capabilities.

Once considered a distant and futuristic technology, vehicle autonomy has emerged as a key focus for many automakers and tech companies. Likewise, the public is showing greater interest. Self driving vehi- cles could potentially improve safety, land use, congestion, and environmental impact. Panelists will discuss their experiences with self driving vehicles and the potential for reshaping mobility.

BOOTCAMP Lo-Fi/Hi-Impact Design We don't design in an ideal world; often we have limited time and limited resources. This talk will teach you how to make good things, fast. Things like an interactive installation for tens of thousands of visitors to Times Square, that was hacked together on a build of Wordpress. Or a service designed to help 500,000 people in a New Orleans hurricane, that was designed and coded in just 8 hours. Oliver Blank, Google 4:45PM - 5:45PM 9ABC . . . . . .
