This report addresses how Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) can contribute to their integrated photonics partnership with Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) and facilitate lasting success in the Massachusetts integrated photonics ecosystem. Our project strove to define WPI’s role in the ecosystem, increase the web presence of the Lab for Education and Application Prototypes (LEAP @ WPI/QCC), and identify the collaboration barriers present at LEAP @ WPI/QCC. We accomplished this through conducting formative interviews with stakeholders, developing web page frameworks and video storyboards, and conducting post-formative user experience (UX) interviews. Our findings result in concluding recommendations for WPI and for future LEAP @ WPI/QCC stakeholder involvement initiatives.
