Welcome to Lauren’s Learning Lab

Lauren Magee — architect, educator, and mother of a 3, 7 and 9-year-old — has recently found herself in a situation familiar to parents around the world, with her children distance-learning indefinitely due to the outbreak of COVID-19. To help other parents navigate this new set of challenges, Lauren and her family have decided to document their journey and home transformation through Lauren’s Learning Lab. Throughout the series, Lauren will offer her unique expertise gained from years of teaching, serving on school boards, and designing classrooms and schools worldwide as the Director of Architecture and Environmental Design at Guidecraft.

In this first episode of Lauren’s Learning Lab, Lauren introduces herself and takes us on a tour of her home and begins to discuss how she has transformed the environment to accommodate this new normal of educating her children at home.
