Form-a-Palooza

The Lab @ DC is a team in Mayor Muriel Bowser's administration. The Lab uses scientific insights and methods to test and improve policies and provide timely, relevant, and high-quality analysis to inform the District's most important decisions. DC residents deserve a government that asks questions, tests policies, and iteratively improves how it serves the community.Interested in receiving updates about our latest work, opportunities to work together on a project, and invitations for future The Lunch @ DC events?Sign up today.

The Lab @ DC, Office of the City Administrator

Have you struggled with confusing government forms? No more! At Form-a-Palooza, we’ll put pen to paper and rework several high-profile District forms with design and behavioral science experts and you - District residents. 
Featuring welcome remarks by Mayor Bowser, City Administrator Rashad M. Young, a keynote by Cass Sunstein (Harvard professor, Obama appointee to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and best-selling author), and experts such as David Yokum, the Center for Plain Language, and DC government staff. 
All are welcome. No prior experience needed. Come ready to work! You'll be able to select which form you work on when you arrive at the event. To keep table numbers balanced, form selections will be filled first come, first served. Questions? Contact the.lab@dc.gov
