Workroom Playtime 042: Exploratory Interfaces 4 – Tests
This week's Workroom PlayTime is Thursday 11 December at 4:30pm London time. I'm sorry for the late notice – finding a time has been a challenge.
We'll be thinking of tests as an exploratory interface. We won't directly be judging the tests, but reframing with the idea that if a subject passes its tests, then those (passing) tests describe the subject directly enough to be explorable.

We'll gather on Zoom. These exercises are for everyone, for free. Subscribers get to play together every week. If you can see a joining info section below, then that gives you access to the Zoom etc. for the workshop. If you'd like to bring a friend, you can do that. I'll say yes until I've got too many.
Here's a rough plan of what's coming up:
04211 December: Exploratory interfaces 4: Tests04318 December: Going meta – let's build short exercises!- No sessions on 25th December, or 1 January (you might have something planned, yourself).
So that's a full year of Workroom PlayTime – thank you for coming on this journey.
In 2026, we'll do more puzzles, more stuff for speakers, more thinking... and maybe fewer tools. I'll re-run some exercises, and experiment more with timings and lengths.
