The Smartlab HQ Advantage
How can a SmartLab HQ program help your school?
In addition to reinforcing science and math concepts, SmartLab HQ is a place where personalized learning engages students of all ages, interests, and abilities.
Accelerate Learning
As students engage in our hands-on, STEAM-focused experiences they learn to connect the dots between what they are doing and the core math and science concepts they’re learning in class.
- The cutting-edge technology in a SmartLab HQ helps learners apply complex concepts to real-world activities
- With hands-on learning engagements, your learners are engaged and excited to complete projects that impact their world
- Through self-reflection, your learners connect to and authentically track their own learning processes
- Students share their learning with their peers as they demonstrate a deeper, more authentic understanding of core concepts
Next-Gen Skills
SmartLab Learning makes space for student voice and choice while helping them grow into engaged adulthood. Students establish goals, creatively solve problems, complete projects on time, and share their accomplishments with their community.
- Students will enter their post-secondary experience prepared to solve complex future challenges.
- As critical thinkers, your students will be able to look at information with a discerning eye.
- Learners start with the end goal in mind, then break complex projects into bite-sized chunks while they work toward their objective.
- While working in pairs, students learn to break down silos, communicate, and gain a deeper cultural understanding.
Engage All Learners
With SmartLab Learning, engaging students is a key component of our educational design. We evaluate each piece of technology to ensure it inspires curiosity and leaves maximum room for student engagement.
- Create open-ended engagements that allow students to apply core math and science concepts to projects that they care about.
- Surround learners with leading-edge technologies, learning resources, and the ability to direct their own learning.
- Encourage students to explore questions connected to their own interests and abilities.
- Give students the responsibility to lead their own learning while being supported by a trained facilitator.
