Wicked problems are complex, lacking clear causes and simple solutions. They require systems thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration. Addressing such challenges without understanding their full context often leads to unintended outcomes. This project focuses on socio-technical problems with spatio-temporal dimensions. Learners will develop the ability to work across disciplines, deepening their own expertise while appreciating others'. Through collaborative analysis and problem-solving, they will integrate diverse knowledge to design effective, context-aware interventions. By the end, participants will be prepared to contribute meaningfully to expert teams tackling wicked challenges in real-world settings.
These are the teamchers you'll work with on the challenge.
Upon completion, the learner can understand the nature of complex spatio-temporal systems. They can incorporate location and time parameters in system modelling, explain how location and time are critical in understanding real-world problems, and explain the role of normative practices
Upon completion, the learner can decompose a complex spatio-temporal system and formulate critical issues. They can break down real-world problems into related subsystems or components, and reason and converge towards the critical issues.
Upon completion, the learner can propose mitigation strategies that integrate knowledge from related disciplines. They can reason about the role of these disciplines in addressing wicked problems, and reason about the implications of the proposed mitigations
