Students in Dr. Bishop’s World Futures class participated in a online game conducted by the Institute for the Future called Connected Citizens. The objective of the game was to brainstorm ways that governments could improve their service to citizens in an ubiquitous, networked world. Points were awarded for the number of ideas submitted and the number of responses that those ideas generated.
Mackenzie Dickson, a new UH student from Vancouver BC, ended the game ranked third out of more than 500 participants, and Roberto Vera Bonilla, a new student from Ecuador, came in eighth. Finally Karen Kauder, an elective student in World from the Project Management program, received the Bucky Fuller award for her suggestion “Stop campaign funding to individual candidates. Share central funds to qualified candidates so more than the rich can run; also, proving budget skills.” Congratulations to all three for their outstanding performance!
