Lab Cycle Diagrams

The first cycle of Grove3547 ran for a four month period. This period is what we call “one cycle” or a Minimum Viable Lab. While very short, this allows enough time to demonstrate the process and generate value within the system. This diagram shows the birds-eye-view breakdown of activities over the four month period including specific workshops each month and then the monthly sprints where prototyping teams are working independently to test out the latest versions of the prototypes.

The repeating cycles of a lab look something like this:

This is a full, detailed timeline of one cycle including preconditions:

The Grove’s 3rd Studio Workshop

The Grove’s 3rd studio workshop was held December 6-7, 2016, and was organized primarily as an opportunity for the prototyping teams to share their prototypes and learnings with the broader community in Bronzeville and Chicago as a whole. A wide variety of guests were invited to the studio to hear presentations, engage in discussion and watch videos documenting the teams’ work, with structured conversations for offering feedback and engaging in critical discussion.

Studio 3

The Facilitator Agenda for the 3rd Studio provides a detailed breakdown of the Hosting and Facilitation Teams’ agenda for the 3rd Studio Workshop. It highlights timings, processes and notes for the team to consider and keep in mind during the workshop. Agendas like this were usually designed in advance, and then iterated a number of times before and during the process to adjust and adapt to the shifting context within the group and the project.

Studio 3 – Guest Information

This document is a list of biographies of the guests who visited the 3rd studio. During the 3rd Studio, the prototyping teams did formal presentations of their work, followed by time for more in-depth question and answer sessions. These guests provided critical input for the prototyping teams, challenging them to think from different perspectives and to engage with a fresh audience unfamiliar with their work to date.
