This document provides instructions for a culminating task where participants will work in design teams to conceptualize an ideal learning space. They will consider themes from an Educon conference and choose 3 keywords to represent the physical space, tools, and pedagogy. Participants will record their brainstorming and planning process to create artifacts documenting the final proposed design.
