Activities were so just making my mind work and fun to do! You can step yourself as a futurist as i did. I just loved Future wheel the most!!
One of the best course I did on Coursera. Thanks for Institute for the Future Team and especially to Dr Jane McGonigal.

Fun, thoughtful, useful, empowering! Well designed with a good mixture of lecture, visual aides, reading material and practical assignment. Learning should be fun, and this really was.
