This paper describes a case study of a programme of interactive public engagement activities presented by the PerAda Co-ordination Action project (FET Proactive Initiative on Pervasive Adaptation) [1] in 2011.

Additional explicit aims were to widen debate about the socio-technical implications of this research, and to assess public attitudes to its potential applications in an accessible, engaging and creative manner
