• The Wearable Futures Hackathon was a 12-week long, (online/offline) interdisciplinary course developed for students of the XXXX program at XXXX. The program focuses on wearable technology and culminates in an exhibition of the participant’s artwork. To the best of our knowledge, the hackathon is a pioneering artistic practice and exploration on speculative design and futures thinking through wearable technology, certainly within a national and regional context. In this pictorial essay, we elaborate on each of the weeks’ activities and the results of the program. In this institutional presentation, we intend to elaborate on each of the weeks’ activities and the final results of the program
