play, collaborate and test new ideas

CoLab is a space to play, collaborate and test new ideas. Bring your unique approach to challenges and help our team learn how to improve our newest activities.

 

explore living and building on another world

What would be different if you lived and worked on another planet? 

Living and building outside of Earth means leaving behind the life-sustaining features of our world. Our out-of-this world homes need to mimic Earth’s environment, but how will we build them?
