From voice recognition systems that prefer masculine tones, to search algorithms that reinforce gender stereotypes; from awkward lapel mics to boob-crushing seatbelts, eye-watering bike seats and more, design based on a 'male default' is exposing women to discomfort, discrimination and even danger.
Tech Futures Lab invites you to tackle a design issue through the female gaze in a mini design sprint, facilitated by the Lab's GM Sarah Hindle and Director of Innovation, Priti Ambani. Join us to explore a different perspective, hone your innovation skills and smash the patriarchy! All genders welcome.
