Resources I co-create

Together with Dr Marlena Gołębiowska, I run design-lab.pl — courses and resources for educators and for anyone who wants to test ideas before falling for them. Most of it is free and openly licensed (in Polish).

Design Thinking Lab

An online design thinking course plus three guides: The Innovator's Guide, The Innovator's Workshop and A Guide for Teachers. I co-wrote the expanded second edition; for the first, I supported the team as an incubator expert.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

A book, a course on Universal Design for Learning, a Design Assistant tool, and “Semester” and “Class” planning cards. I co-authored the materials.
