We see a large number of $502M and the term "virtual." But what is Improbable and why would a city-state's sovereign wealth fund invest?
“We believe that the next major phase in computing will be the emergence of large-scale virtual worlds which enrich human experience and change how we understand the real world. At Improbable we have spent the last few years building the foundational infrastructure for this vision,” - Improbable Founder, Narula

audience question:
how do i make sure that I am achieving enough every day.
Sophia Sunwoo quotes Tony Robbins:
"You over estimate what you can accomplish in a year. But you underestimate what you can accomplish in 10 years"
the common theme:
Not set deadlines but a non-linear organic process
Towers highlights a pattern among the panelists:
"What I hear you are saying
how you approach to complexity - one step at a time ...as you have to in order to solve wicked problems "
- Joel Towers - Dean of Parsons
"you you don't know the top until you've seen the bottom and worked our way up"
- Kay's dad
wrote a letter when she was 8 years old
built 125M business - had it all stolen by partner
fashion designer and entrepreneur
traveled 39/40 years - every show - made sure to give back money
everyday I am going back to school
So often the arts are forgotten -
and that's how a lot of us learn
we learn differently
When I saw the space - not only in technology but in changing the futre
But with regards to hospitals [and other human contexts] is what we are teaching
A letter Kay wrote when she was 8 years old stating she wants to be a fashion designer

Great to see how parts of the university change so often and so dramatically.
This constantly change may be driven by New York or as Dave Marin thinks - that in this field of creativity you constantly have to be reinventing yourself.

New York City is full of events on digital design and UX. What is unique about this event is how a university accepted members of the business community like First Mark Capital into the mix. There was a time shortly after the recession when The New School, the university with the highest number of US Communist Party members, would not tolerate venture capital in conjunction with university activities. As the economy improved the open-minded nature of the university has prevailed. Learn how a public company, a start-up, and a fashion ecommerce brand are driven by design. Get insight into the new model behind a design studio.
Notes from the team that created the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and parts of the 9-11 memorial. "Creating an immersive digital experience is a hard challenge that designers take on daily. However, there are select projects that go beyond the screen and bridge over to the physical realm. With breakthrough technologies within the Internet of Things (IoT) and brands reinvigorating their retail shopping experience and startups taking their brands offline (e.g. Warby Parker, Birchbox, Bonobos), there is an ever-present need to keep the customer engaged throughout both their digital and physical experiences. And find ways to make both experiences as seamless as possible.
Local Projects will be showcasing specific projects where the design challenge required immediate insights thoughtful planning along with flawless execution from both a research and design perspective."
