Projects Laboratory

Welcome to the DCWEEK Projects Laboratory!

This is a collection of exciting experiments and projects run BY the DCWEEK community, FOR the DCWEEK community.

Each project on the list is run by a wonderfully passionate member of the DCWEEK community, focused on catalyzing creative civic experiments across The District.

They need your support, so...

  1. CREATE AN ACCOUNT or
  2. Then JOIN A PROJECT to get involved
  3. If you have resources, venues, equipment and special skills, don't be shy - they would love to hear from you! (Each Project Manager has also indicated ways that you can contact them directly.)

If these social innovators inspire you to create and run a DCWEEK Project of your very own, you can SUBMIT YOUR GENIUS HERE
