🏠 Dartmouth 2025 STUDIO HOMEBASE

Welcome!

On behalf of the Stanford Life Design Lab, thank you for joining us in person for our Life Design Studio at Dartmouth College. This website will continue to be a repository of resources from our time together.

Feel free to reach out at any time to Deepak at dramola@stanford.edu if you have any additional resources you would like to add onto this page.


PREPARING FOR STUDIO

STUDIO PRE-WORK (LINKED HERE)

  • On Day 1 of our training, we will be diving into our views on work and life. These reflections that you will engage with will form part of the foundational structure of the life design curriculum.

  • We will be sharing the workview and the worldview reflections in small group breakouts during the second day of our training. You will not need to share the social identity reflection. Please consider this pre-work as important in supporting your Studio experience. It should take around 2 hours of your time to complete all 3 reflection activities.

WHAT DO I BRING?

  • When you arrive, we will have all the materials you need to participate. We invite you to consider your needs for a workshop of this nature and bring anything that would support your learning.

  • There are no activities that require you bringing a computer — some teams find it helpful to collaborate digitally on their prototypes. Whatever you choose, we’ll make it work.

  • There is no dress code other than wearing something that makes you feel comfortable. We’ll be doing some walking around campus so bringing shoes you feel comfortable to move around in would be ideal!


WHAT TO EXPECT

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • We’ll be in small group conversations and working in radical collaboration with one another throughout our time in Studio. You can expect moving around the space; identifying colors; reading, listening, and seeing slides; and building things with various materials!

  • If you are coming with folks from your institution, you will be paired with them in our prototyping groups.

  • On Days 1, 2 & 3 we will have breakfast and lunch provided.

  • If you have any needs that have emerged, please email dramola@stanford.edu. We want to ensure that this experience works for you.
