Courses and Education

Through courses and fellowships, the Lab is committed to preparing students and professionals to guide society through the complexities of our digital future.

We believe technological change demands adaptation, open-mindedness, and diverse perspectives—qualities we cultivate through hands-on research experience and collaborative learning. Our programs equip participants with the frameworks and insights needed to shape a future where technology serves human well-being.
