Instead of offering a prescriptive set of formal architectural rules, the spirit of the book and studio invited educators and community members to embrace their roles as designers of learning cultures that set the conditions for the emergence of authentic spaces.\r\n\r\nThis conversation will invite all attendees to explore how a human-centered design process can help align spatial, pedagogical and cultural elements to anchor their future learning communities. Participants will share their unique spatial challenges, engage in interactive workshop experiences, and have access to pragmatic resources to test in their own schools.","Link":["https:\/\/www.wonderproject.org\/","https:\/\/davidjakesdesigns.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"A wide range of interactive design workshop activities, including:\r\n\r\n- all-group participant case study story-telling session\r\n- quiet solo reflections\r\n- conversational partner 'empathy interviews'\r\n- small group ideation and prototyping sessions\r\n- small group presentations\r\n- all-group 'pattern identification' session\r\n- facilitator workshop guidance and final recommendations\r\n- all-group Google Doc resource sharing during and after the session","Presenter":["Christian Long","David Jakes"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Christian: Founder of The WONDer Project.
