   * Angel: We created worlds with seemingly impossible technology, but I thought, “What if it is possible?” It’s crazy to think imagining that the worlds exist because of technology. I am now a bit afraid of technology!   * Angel: We created worlds with seemingly impossible technology, but I thought, “What if it is possible?” It’s crazy to think imagining that the worlds exist because of technology.

   * Stacey: I am overwhelmed at how much you got for your final projects. And there was an unexpected thing – team building: an amazing byproduct. I also had the opportunity to talk to more of you individually, saw more people, excited.   * Stacey: I am overwhelmed at how much you got for your final projects.

   * Maja: I thought a few days ago that we must postpone the workshop due to space issues and our exhaustion. But I am so happy we have gone through with it, because I feel much better - more tired, but in a good way. Thank you all for your energy.   * Maja: I thought a few days ago that we must postpone the workshop due to space issues and our exhaustion.

   * Karla: My three words at the start were, “learn,” “process,” and “growth.” I did grow and learn from the process! I also enjoyed learning about the invisible parts of different people who I don’t normally interact with. It was a positive experience.    * Karla: My three words at the start were, “learn,” “process,” and “growth.” I did grow and learn from the process!

   * Devin: I had no idea what to expect, but it helped me to see that there are many different steps in the visualizing process. I see now how I can apply visualizing to everything else. My sociology major is more clear to me now, too. I tend to forget that “visualizing the invisible” is our reason for being here; now I can do more than look at pretty things here.   * Devin: I had no idea what to expect, but it helped me to see that there are many different steps in the visualizing process.

   * Nate: The opportunity to think realistically about possible futures, and our own lives, to see “the world” as something other than just what happens to you, by making it.   * Nate: The opportunity to think realistically about possible futures, and our own lives, to see “the world” as something other than just what happens to you, by making it.

   * Hillery: I really enjoyed it. We created absurd situations, but I never had to suspend my disbelief, because I was there the whole time. It felt like potential futures that I didn’t expect.    * Hillery: I really enjoyed it. We created absurd situations, but I never had to suspend my disbelief, because I was there the whole time.

   * Alyssa: I was pleasantly surprised because the reading we did was “interesting,” but the workshop really opened it up. It also terrified me: the idea of collective consciousness and the loss of the individual is frightening and thought-provoking.   * Alyssa: I was pleasantly surprised because the reading we did was “interesting,” but the workshop really opened it up.

   * Rachel: It affected the way we think about the world, finding what we think is most important, especially change drivers. We got all the steps toward visualizing the future-- how we get there –-even if we don’t want them.    * Rachel: It affected the way we think about the world, finding what we think is most important, especially change drivers.

   * Adam: I’m excited about the projects and our program, excited to have you experience this and to do it with you. I’m energized! I’m also intellectually interested in how divergent worlds have so many connections, and similar drivers, but also how so many of the same drivers have divergent potentials.    * Adam: I’m excited about the projects and our program, excited to have you experience this and to do it with you.

   * Tiffany: This is my first time for thinking of the future. How to have a fresh start is exciting, but crazy. I’m an emotional person, and I appreciate co-creation. I have trouble presenting my ideas, perhaps because of language, perhaps because of shyness, but here I had your help. I want to say thank you.   * Tiffany: This is my first time for thinking of the future. How to have a fresh start is exciting, but crazy. I’m an emotional person, and I appreciate co-creation.

   * Rara: I enjoyed sharing and listening to each other, to hear others’ ideas. We were focused on different aspects, but they all came together. Also our learning process on openness is interesting.    * Rara: I enjoyed sharing and listening to each other, to hear others’ ideas.

   * Hannah: I was fascinated to see the connections between the worlds we created and our world now; to see how they could lead to such extremes, and also how scary that is. It makes me want to think more about how I use technology now – especially because my world, Franco – that is freaky! Now I want to talk more about how I interact with technology.    * Hannah: I was fascinated to see the connections between the worlds we created and our world now; to see how they could lead to such extremes, and also how scary that is.

   * Nik: It was interesting to see where the worlds end up from the blank page to what we have here. It feels like we only scratched the surface, but there are many more surfaces, always more to pick out from it. I was pleasantly surprised how differently the groups worked, but with the same materials. There are many different approaches here; it’s a great way to strengthen individual practice.    * Nik: It was interesting to see where the worlds end up from the blank page to what we have here.

   * Cindy: I thought it was interesting how different the worlds were, but also who chose which world to be in. I liked my world, but I couldn’t figure out how to live there! It taught me that maybe you should stay in your world and bridge the problems. It’s good to know you don’t have to bail.    * Cindy: I thought it was interesting how different the worlds were, but also who chose which world to be in.

   * Saloni: It was intellectually stimulating to me. I don’t think too abstractly, and it was hard to think of things beneath the surface, but we did a lot of that. It was interesting to see how even in the same world our ideas were totally different: same world, but different worldview.    * Saloni: It was intellectually stimulating to me.

   * Kate: Walking through step-by-step felt like a totally natural progression. The ideas got crazier and crazier, but I felt like it could be real. I appreciated how much everyone wants to work together. We all got into it and it was positive. I’m happy to be here with you guys.    * Kate: Walking through step-by-step felt like a totally natural progression. The ideas got crazier and crazier, but I felt like it could be real.

-  * Katie: I was pleasantly surprised how looking at the future in terms of only five years, and following the specific guidelines helped me to see my own vision of my future, which was really hard before – the entire time I’ve been in college. It seemed natural, not forced, it just came out. New possibilities. Even though you take seemingly disparate things – like “radically open” and “radically homogenous” – when you put them together, you realize that there are different ways of being homogenous. It gave me new perspective, one I wouldn’t normally think was possible, but should be illuminated.  + 
-  * Lars: I am a big fan of the future and I like these discussions. My three words were sonerd, “learn,” and “imagine.” I certainly learned how you imagine, got closer. Cool. I often wonder about how the world is going to turn out. When we put together seemingly disparate things, they don’t seem too far-fetched. I really enjoyed the process; I never thought of the future in this “diagram” way. +  * Katie: I was pleasantly surprised how looking at the future in terms of only five years, and following the specific guidelines helped me to see my own vision of my future, which was really hard before – the entire time I’ve been in college.

   * Jon: When I heard you had a degree in forecasting, I thought it was interesting. It gets me asking, “What if?” Your “What if?” questions are intriguing, and now I have drivers to think about, “What if?” I’ve never been able to ask that before. I also discovered that I’m overly optimistic about the future.    * Jon: When I heard you had a degree in forecasting, I thought it was interesting.

   - In civil engineering, we are always looking to the future, to find the problems you didn’t even know you had; these strategies for visualizing definitely help with that!   - In civil engineering, we are always looking to the future, to find the problems you didn’t even know you had; these strategies for visualizing definitely help with that!
