A university lab + design collaboratory
The daplab is a design and research group led by Dr. June Ahn at UC Irvine. We collaborate with the community to design innovations that focus on the needs of partners and result in new knowledge about creating equitable learning systems.

about.
what we do
Eyes on the sky, feet on the ground (and a handful of sticky notes).
Design is our language
We use design-based methods to co-create technology, platforms,
curricula, social programs, and strategic initiatives with students,
teachers, families, and districts, as well as private and governmental
partners.
Learning is our target
We produce knowledge and tools that imagine, re-design and facilitate how children and adults learn.
Partnerships are our way
We have expertise in facilitating community partnerships, co-creating with communities, and translating future imaginations into strategic plans for implementation and continuous improvement.
Equity is our core.
We build from the histories and assets of our community partners. We are attuned to creating culturally sustaining solutions that come from the community.
