The primary focus of lab64 is to foster the development of practical skills most easily obtained by exploring, prototyping and testing cool things.
Exploring prototyping, they found not only that teams working in three dimensions created more imaginative solutions than those working on paper or screen, but the process created stronger, healthier teams.
And there many big companies are now really interested in that and they're investing and exploring, prototyping, starting to adopt the technology slowly.

A networking reception on campus offered room to continue conversations with each other and with D-Lab staff, Scale-Ups fellows, and conference speakers, before the whole group headed to the Stata Center to explore students' prototypes and projects represented in the IDEAS Innovation Showcase.
The workshop introduced the teachers to the design thinking process and explored the prototyping stage in more depth.
