Learn Do Share - Open Design Session

Learn Do Share (formerly known as diy days) returns to Hub LA for 3 days full of talks, workshops, labs, hacks, and networking. The event is focused on how storytelling, play, design thinking, and creativity can be harnessed as an engine for social innovation and civic engagement throughout Los Angeles.

This year’s theme is FUTURE CITIES

Join us as we explore how we can prototype new ways citizens can productively work with government. Learn Do Share LA will engage community activists, data scientists, policy makers, academics, entrepreneurs, and storytellers in an effort to tackle city-wide challenges. Through the use of open data, and our collaborative design process, we will create design challenges that will inform the newly created Civic Innovation Lab in Los Angeles.

Sunday, Oct 12th
at Hub LA / 9:30AM – 6:00PM

Join us for Public Day that engages a diverse group of citizens in a participatory design process that focuses on empathy, storytelling, and play in order to craft detailed design challenges.

The Public Day consists of a 3-act structure:

LEARN (keynotes, case studies, and fire side chats) DO (workshops, labs, and hacks) SHARE (a collaborative action by the day’s participants). Register for the Public Day at the top of this page.

Join a group of diverse thinkers & doers (storytellers, game designers, hackers, educators, policy makers, community leaders, architects, scientists, futurists, and students) for a special two-day Learn Do Share Open Design Session. This "think and do" session will harness empathy, storytelling, technology and play to craft detailed design challenges for the next phase of Civic Innovation Lab.

Civic Innovation Lab – part design lab, part community caucus, part accelerator of urban solutions – is dedicated to the development of real solutions designed with and for communities throughout Los Angeles.

Powered by Hub LA and Learn Do Share, Civic Innovation Lab will pilot a new model for civic engagement and the acceleration of urban solutions utilizing available government data and the ingenuity of engaged citizen stakeholders over a ten-month period.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED

We are looking for volunteers to help us with registration, speaker coordination, social media, AV / Tech support, photographers and folks to shoot video. It's because of people sharing their time and talent as volunteers that we're able to keep the events FREE. Not only do you help the event but its a great way to meet new people and potential collaborators. For more info please contact us at collaborate@learndoshare.net

BOOKSPRINT VOLUNTEERS

We are looking for writers, graphic designers, photographers, copy editors, data scientists and creative technologists for a special book series that will be produced from the Los Angeles labs / events. The book series captures design and storytelling experiments that come out of our labs and events. It’s a narrative exploration into our ethos and open collaborative design process. The results are rather unusual look-do-and-think-books that explore the methods we used, pitfalls we encountered and lessons we learned when we try all kinds of games and methods to trigger social and civic innovation.
