Let Technology Lead Somewhere Good
Digital skills do more than help us keep up. They help us learn, make things, connect with people, and see the world with fresh eyes.
THE IDEA
What matters isn’t just our screen time. It’s where it takes us.
The Good Life Lab helps people build digital skills and use technology with greater confidence. Through hands-on workshops and public research, we show how technology can inspire creativity, deepen connection, open new possibilities, and make everyday life feel richer.
Feel more at home with the technology you use every day.
Friendly, hands-on learning that starts with real questions, not technical jargon. Participants try useful phone features, explore what AI can and cannot do, and practise choosing the right tools to help them accomplish their goals.
01 Everyday phone skills
Practical tools for information, communication, and daily tasks.
02 AI with confidence
Try AI tools, ask better questions, and check what they tell you.
03 Room to ask
A small group where questions and every starting point is welcome.
01 / THE PRACTICAL WORKSHOP
AI & Smartphone Essentials
Discover what technology can help you notice, make, and share.
An immersive workshop that pairs digital tools with surprising sensory experiences and creative challenges. Participants experiment together, follow their curiosity, and leave with fresh ways to bring more possibility into ordinary days.
01 Go beyond the ordinary
Designed for adults who want to explore technology in unexpected ways.
02 No advanced knowledge needed
Come as you are, just bring a willingness to experiment.
02 / THE EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP
AI & Smartphone Possibilities
THE QUESTION AT THE HEART OF IT
What did your technology use lead to?
03 / COMMUNITY RESEARCH
After the Digital Detox
Can the technologies often blamed for shrinking our lives help make them bigger?
We hear plenty about putting down our phones. This study asks what happens when we pick them up with purpose. It explores how smartphones, social media, and AI can capture our attention, and how they might also lead to learning, connection, and meaningful action beyond the screen.
The findings will help shape workshops that reflect how people actually use technology and how we can all build better digital lives.
04 / PARALLEL PROJECT
More time for people.
