The Lab • Feelings Are Data

Feelings Are Data

Language for what you carry

60 to 90 minutes • For youth and adults

Most of us feel the whole range of what there is to feel, and carry language for only a few words. This lab treats feelings as data: a feeling tells you something, and the more clearly you can name it, the more choices you have for what to do next.
