How can we create healthier relationships with our devices? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll experiment with practical strategies for digital wellness—like setting up “Walden Zones,” adjusting phone settings to reduce distraction, and developing small rituals for screen-time balance. Students will leave with concrete tools to make technology more supportive of their values.

On Thursday, Oct. 23, there will be a “Science Research Symposium,” hosted by the Biology & Chemistry Department, in the Science Center Lobby from 3:30-5 p.m.
