ThingsCon 19: Being a Developer, managing Data

On December 12th, VIRT-EU members and partners attended ThingsCon 2019 at Het Nieuwe Instituut to facilitate a workshop discussing ethical issues faced by developers and designers working with technologies. It starts with a ‘moral simulation’ – a way to ask the audience to imagine themselves as developers working in a company called WearWell. Much like our session at Mozilla Festival, participants were asked to make a fundamental design decision about a wristband for employers help their workers manage their wellbeing. This time, we documented the whole workshop where conversations ranged from business decisions to questions of justice and freedom. Read on, or watch the video!
