Thing Lab Offerings

Spark the Thing Session

Playful, participatory sessions that energize the group and create the conditions for bold thinking. Guided activities, rapid teamwork, and unexpected creative prompts help participants break out of stale patterns and discover new possibilities. Each session leaves the group more connected, energized, and aligned around a shared sense of purpose.
