The Red Frame Lab

How would you like a low-risk way to start your own business? Learn what it’s like to be a consultant? Get on a design team making the Denison experience better? Design the perfect event for your organization? The Red Frame Lab is your resource for entrepreneurship, innovation, and design thinking so you can have fun doing all of these things and more.

At the Red Frame Lab, you can explore and develop your entrepreneurial skills, engage with visiting entrepreneurs, and come to talks on business and design fundamentals. You can take part in immersive workshops, startup weekend programs, pitch competitions, alumni entrepreneur summits, and one-on-one coaching.

First-year students engage Red Frame Lab in many different ways. Some of our Red StartUp entrepreneurs starting a new business are first-years. Others come in to talk about a new idea, student organization, or event design. Some will come for our speakers on Arts and Entrepreneurship or Designing Your Life workshops. Still others will visit through their Advising Circle, and the bold ones among you sign up for our Red Frame Consulting program. So yeah, Red Frame Lab is for you, too! Red Frame Lab is a flexible space with two breakout rooms. Our space is open and available for small group meetings, hanging out, studying, or even enjoying a work-free zone. We have access to a beautiful balcony with tables and seating overlooking A-Quad. Red Frame Lab is equipped with dry-erase boards, sticky notes, markers, a Jamboard, craft and art supplies, a Cricut for t-shirts and sticker design, stress relief games and activities, magazines and books on entrepreneurial and design thinking topics—and candy on a pretty regular basis. Just drop by or schedule a conversation.
