You’re the Product. Now What? - by Dr. Anupama Gowda, a Technoculture specialist and co-founder of Workbench Projects, India's first public makerspace.
This is a 90-minute hands-on technoculture workshop for teens aged 14–17. Participants investigate the apps they use, who designs them, what those platforms want from users, and how technology shapes culture. No coding or competition—just curiosity, critical thinking, and a fresh perspective on screen time. No coding. No competition. No pressure. Just curiosity and maybe a little discomfort. The good kind.
Participants will explore questions most of us scroll past:
Who built the app you can't put down and what do they want from you?
Does your technology change your culture, or does your culture change your technology?
What happens when 100 million people use the same thing? The method? A love letter, a mysterious Tarot Card of Tech, and an investigation into one technology of their choice.
