Five Studios. Five capabilities. Five field artifacts you keep.
That is the whole Collab: SEE → THINK → DESIGN → BUILD → REFLECT. Each Studio is a live working session with your cohort, and each one leaves you with something you can use in real work immediately.
What a live Studio actually feels like
You work first. The explaining comes second — after the experience has given it something to land on. Expect to start most exercises with less instruction than feels comfortable. That is deliberate, and it is the point.
The rhythm of a Studio:
- You do the work — build something, or reason through a problem, usually cold.
- You stop and capture what you actually did, before anyone discusses it.
- Small breakouts — you compare what you did against what other people did. A great deal of the insight lives here.
- Whole-group debrief that draws the lesson out of what just happened.
- A second exercise that presses on what you just noticed.
- A break.
- The concepts — named, and connected to engineering practices you already know.
- Quiet reflection, then the field experiment you carry into your week.
Studios run up to three hours each. How they are scheduled varies by cohort — half-days, full days, or spread across several weeks. Your cohort’s schedule lives on each Studio’s Live Session page.
Between Studios
One field experiment. Small, specific, and done inside work you are already doing — not extra homework. Studio 1’s asks you to change nothing about how you code, and simply notice one thing. You bring what you noticed to the next Studio.
What you keep
| Studio | Capability | Field artifact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — SEE | Separate before solving | Four Conversations Field Log |
| 2 — THINK | Discover through dialogue | Discovery Conversation Transcript |
| 3 — DESIGN | Shape for verification | Testability Review Card |
| 4 — BUILD | Think together | Collaboration Protocol |
| 5 — REFLECT | Learn how you build | Personal Learning Loop |
Each Studio gives you a reusable field artifact. Some live in your workbook; others may also be attached as separate downloads. They are meant to leave the Collab with you and survive contact with real work.
How AI shows up
AI is in the room for the work itself, not demonstrated at you. You will need your own AI collaborator open and ready at the start of every Studio — see Before Studio 1.
This is not a prompt engineering course. Nothing here turns on clever phrasing. It is about how much of your own judgment stays active while AI moves quickly beside you.
Live and self-study
The Studios are live. Everything here in TutorLMS — overviews, checklists, resources, discussion, and reflection — is yours to move through on your own time. Each Studio’s materials live with that Studio, so you should rarely need to go hunting for anything.
