Combine computer sciences with anthropology, psychology, philosophy, ethics, strategy and art. Make "the human condition" the central focus of everything.
A 13-lecture course
— Troublemaker.

Management Issues in Computer Sciences
A course originally given at Sabanci University for 6½ years... targeting computer scientists... is redesigned for people with no software background... who care about the social issues we face today... people who want to create possible futures... and new worlds for all.
1 / mIIcS I
The first phase brings seemingly unrelated fields together to form a new discipline where "computer science" becomes one with "social sciences, strategy, ethics and art". This 13-lecture training recruits troublemakers with all kinds of backgrounds and turns them into social experimenters with software chops.
"Turn troublemaker into Sherlock Holmes"
2 / mIIcS II
The second phase continues with the graduates of the first phase, Sherlock Holmes - Dr. Watson Duo(s). This time students go full technical. They learn how to develop cross platform mobile apps from scratch. While they work in groups of two, there is an underlying goal which is more important than the apps themselves.
"Turn Sherlock Holmes into Dr. Watson"
3 / mIIcS III
The final phase makes that underlying goal more visible. The Sherlock Holmes - Dr. Watson Du(s) once competing for better implementations of social experiments of that cycle are slowly becoming one. The A-Team is forming where the focus shifts from absurdities, experiments and apps to timelines and possible futures. Slowly, but surely troublemakers are becoming agents of evolution.
"Turn Dr. Watson into Jonas Kahnwald"
"1 + 1 = 1"
from exploitation to regeneration to evolution
“Power doesn't come from subjecting yourself to some greedy corporation's workplace or algorithms.
It comes from getting in touch with others,
taking care of one another, creating communities with possible futures."

Start Here!
The first part of mIIcS recruits troublemakers and turns them into Sherlock Holmes - Dr. Watson Duos.
​
Training covers computer science, cultural anthropology, social psychology, strategy, ethics, literature, cinema and gaming topics to create a unique blend of software engineering where the students design systems thinking in terms of people, relationships, ecosystems and timelines.
