Media fluency is a career skill, not a hobby.

From newsrooms to content studios to corporate communications, media creation is now central to nearly every industry. SmartLab Studio helps students build the confidence and technical fluency to plan, produce, and share original media. Along the way, they strengthen collaboration, writing, and organizational skills—while discovering how technology, creativity, and communication drive professional storytelling.

Students record an announcement and news broadcast.
Studio kits include green screens, cameras, microphones, sound boards, and editing tools 

What is SmartLab Studio?

Studio environments pair high-quality recording tools, green screens, and editing software with a range of media tools and project possibilities—designed to fuel student creativity and communication. Students work in teams to explore media careers and produce original content—from podcasts to PSA campaigns—aligned to real-world communication practices. 

SmartLab Studio prepares students to lead with their voice.

SmartLab Studio offers a unique combination of tools and project opportunities that help students develop future-ready communication skills. While every Studio looks a little different, the impact is consistent: students engage deeply, think creatively, and share their work with purpose.

“We are able to work with our students to get them career and college ready, and we do that K-12. SmartLabs help by getting students’ hands on projects and activities, getting them working with partners in the classroom, and getting them building something they would’ve never have imagined they could build…it’s actually shown our community what our students are capable of.”
