Start a Lab
The next Lab could start with you.
Every Lab starts with a few people who want one where they live. You don't need to have done this before.
What it takes
You bring the people. We bring the rest.
You bring
- A few people who want a Lab where they live
- Somewhere to meet, or the will to find one
- An evening a week, to start
We bring
- The workshops, and the people who've run them
- The Build Cycle, and help running the first one
- The platform every Lab runs on
- Help finding a home at your public library
How it grows
Five stages, at your pace.
Gathering names
People in your city put their names down. Yours can be the first.
Forming
Someone steps up to lead, and a library or a space comes into view.
First workshops
A few sessions, with workshops and help from the cities that came before.
First Build Cycle
Twelve weeks, Pods and teams, and a Showcase of your own.
Chartered
A Lab in its own right, part of the network, run by the people in it.
The first people in a city decide what its Lab becomes.
