  • Stop by this Lab room to participate in one of our research studies, where you can sit down with product designers and UX researchers to give feedback on early designs and share the problems you face in education.

  • Join this networking event where we can authentically be ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations and learn about other folks’ identities. We’ll provide a safe space to share stories and experiences.

  • Need a sensory break? Step into the Sensory Room where we’ve adjusted the lighting, sounds and experiences to provide a space to decompress. Block out the world with some brown noise, sit or lie down in a variety of seating options, and experience different feeling sensations as the tension melts away from your body.

    Not needing that sensory break but want to learn more about this concept? We invite you to come and explore but ask that you be mindful of others using the space.
