Guiding Principles

Access

We extend access to technology, expertise, space, and programming by lowering barriers to entry.

Community

We foster community through events and partnerships to inspire and drive innovative teaching and research with XR.

Empowerment

We empower students by making them collaborators and researchers who help staff our space and develop and run our programming.

Collaboration

We value collaboration across the humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields because XR requires cross-disciplinary expertise.

Experimentation

We believe in continual learning and encourage everyone to experiment without agenda or fear of failure.
