How Learning Happens in Leslie eLab
To witness and understand how entrepreneurs learn tacit knowledge in Leslie eLab, a co-working space and NYU entrepreneurship-supporting facility, we immersed ourselves in the environment for 8-10 hours over several different observations, and compiled a final report through four different theoretical lenses.

Viewing the world with theoretical eyes
During the first semester, I’ve spent a lot of time observing learning in Leslie eLab. Equipped with learning science theories, I identified more and more learning opportunities. I’ve developed a passion for bringing these lenses to lifelong learners.
Enlightening learning environment design
Through the participant observations, I experienced what learning support works and how it works well, I appreciated the on-site learning context and the off-site background of different learners. These insights help me design a better learning environment.
