Future Alchemy (demo + try-out)

Futures Literacy game as a web app – built with vibe coding

Futures literacy often sounds like theory. Like models, terms, slides. But what does it feel like when you don’t just explain it, but experience it firsthand?

That’s exactly what our evening on February 24, 2026, is all about: we’re opening up the space for Future Alchemy – a playable web app that started as an idea and is now a digital space for experimentation. A place where we shuffle different “future ingredients” (topics, projections, scenarios) into new combinations – not to build forecasts, but to discover surprising perspectives and “what if” impulses.

No rigid predictions. No “this is how it’s going to be” claims. Instead: creative friction for the mind – and new questions that stick.

How does the evening work?

Lucas (Schaltzeit) takes you on the journey from a sketch in the drawer to a finished prototype – and shows how vibe coding (software development with AI as a sparring partner) accelerated this process. Not as a tech show, but as an honest look at how new ways of shaping ideas faster are emerging right now.

And then things get practical: we test Future Alchemy together, try out combinations, build mini-scenarios – and collect feedback. What works? What surprises you? What’s missing? What makes you want more?

What to expect

🔸 Short introduction: what do we mean by futures literacy – and why is it worthwhile?
🔸 Story & insight: from idea to web app (incl. vibe coding / AI as a sparring partner)
🔸 Live demo: how Future Alchemy works
🔸 Hands-on: try it yourself, combine, discover mini-scenarios
🔸 Exchange: feedback, questions, thoughts – in a relaxed Schaltzeit atmosphere (with snacks)

Why we’re doing this

Because the future isn’t just something you “understand” – it’s something you can practice: shifting perspectives, recognizing assumptions, opening up possibilities. And because playful formats often start exactly where language is still too blunt.

If you feel like thinking about the future differently for once – come on by. We look forward to your mini-scenarios, your feedback and the questions that arise from them.
