Description

Our VWeLab opened in August of 2017, and has been continuously used to empower student to find challenges around them they want to work to solve while they apply a design thinking mindset to use empathy and feedback to drive iteration and testing. Rather than focus on individual tools in the lab, we try as often as possible to synthesize the use of multiple tools to create actionable solutions. We are process and progress oriented, and have successfully created a culture where idea doubt has been separated from self-doubt, and all learners in the lab, students and teachers, reframe challenges to be opportunities to learn and reiterate.
