q1 · i? · design · r1

The report's Challenges section describes design challenges of the YCHS lab, including educator trepidation about supervising a technology-enhanced space and difficulty finding educators with both classroom experience and industry-relevant technical expertise.

"Most educators are already juggling existing duties and schedules, which often makes it tough to have expert oversight available whenever the lab is open. In addition, striking the right balance between open access and security calls for clear policies that safeguard sensitive equipment and student information"
