Designing the Space Between Learning and Becoming
Lo/Be Lab is an interdisciplinary research lab investigating how learners construct meaning through reflection, visualization, and simulation.
We design and study theory-based tools that support identity development, decision-making, and educational transitions. Our work bridges research and practice across design thinking, learning sciences, and cognitive psychology.
Our Commitment to Reflective Learning
Lo/Be Lab is committed to advancing reflective learning through the integration of visual tools, narrative practices, and design-based methodologies. Grounded in research from the learning sciences and developmental psychology, our approach supports learners in constructing meaning, articulating identity, and making intentional decisions about their futures. By externalizing thought processes and fostering metacognitive awareness, we aim to equip individuals with the skills and frameworks needed to navigate complexity with clarity and purpose.
