To sample our community you can take ACTLab classes, join ongoing projects, or help plan future events, courses, and curricula. As you get to know other labbies here and around the world you will develop a sense of how you relate to our approaches to education, research, community, and making. This is an indispensable process, since our freewheeling style, with its emphasis on self-motivation, persistent exploration, and risktaking, isn't for everyone.
