Hacking Human Happiness - #LATechWeek

​In an era where technology often amplifies negativity, outrage, and division, how can we reclaim tools — and design new ones — that truly support human well-being?

​This event, co-hosted with ArtCenter, brings together designers, technologists, and thinkers to explore how we can reimagine technology for happiness, connection, and human flourishing. We’ll discuss why so much of our digital environment feels wired for stress, what science tells us about joy and resilience, and how creators can shift the narrative toward positive impact.

​From design choices that shape our daily mood to systemic approaches for building healthier digital ecosystems, this conversation will highlight both the threats to happiness in the tech age and the innovations that could turn the tide. This event is hosted by Innovate Pasadena, the City of Pasadena, and Art Center College of Design.
