## from weekly docs
- lab materials
- proofs of concept go here
- resources
- learning pathways
- the labs
- studio (theatre, event, stage)
- av (audio, video, etc.)
- code (web)
- basic nextjs app connected to airtable and various APIs
- reality
- graphic design (including posters, slides, graphical abstracts, paper)
- the project labs?
- ai
- realtime production?
* including documentation process
* how often to do things
* what would those things would be
## labs lists

- reality
- graphics/illustration
- project labs?
- ai
- academic presentation
- realtime production
- games?
- animation?
- music?
## structure (messy notes)
* no requirement that labs meet syncronously - they're mostly slack channels
* there could be a synchronous meeting that MDF leading the lab should be able to go to
* returner mdfs will be required to post in lab slack channels
* CD&JK responsible for knowing which mdfs/llufs are in and what they're doing
* goal is: learning project that we decide and is totally defined + getting ready for office hours
* what comes next will vary depending on the lab
* spring is for moonshot projects (or trying a new lab?)
* should feel like a class - a project-based, self-directed class
* partnered work on learning projects? but making sure everyone is learning
* toolTimes as a way for staff/fellows to teach other folks in different labs what they're learning in the labs
* can create asynchronous tutorials
* cool to be iteration built into toolTimes - reflection post first toolTime, but then teach again etc.
## notes on specific labs
* studio lab - involves those who teach and run workshops, and also the stage hands and studio maintenance/cleaning
## documentation
* what do we want to require for fellows?
* dd to create a doc for us to collectively work in
* records (data we need)
* all the things that people have made
* some kind of thing-related report (when you make the thing, you write)
* some time-based report (weekly report or something)
* how do we get some media or at least links attached to it
* include numbers and people needed for annual report
* reviewing these and figuring out whether we want to get them to talk about at the main table with MK, use on social media, etc.
* mechanics
* frequency
* view layer
* timeline
* printing
* figure out storing/hosting the media so links can be used
## to do
* think about initial learning activity for each of the 5 core labs (MK is excited about this)
* what do the additional resources look like
* figure out what the pieces should be for the manuals and the most efficient way of collecting them
* JK/CD responsible for giving manuals to their fellows
* returner mdfs
* CD will check in with mdfs
* studio/theatre/event: siriana
* reality: chris
* graphic design: emily
* av: ?
* code: anna
* figure out fellow structure
* mdf orientation time and structure
* lluf pods
* figure out office hours structure
* appointments?
* toolTimes (internal vs. external)
* dd to create the meta all labs hackMD book
* llufs and mdf facing chunks of it, a lot of shared resource docs, logistics etc. etc.
