Hands-on Tools
& Equipment

From Foundational Skills to Professional Tools

SmartLab tools are embedded in hands-on projects that meet students where they are. From early grades through middle school, learners engage with real tools and technologies to build, test, and explore. These experiences aren’t about early specialization—they’re about confidence, curiosity, and seeing how learning connects to the world. 

Educators say students light up when they realize they’re using tools they didn’t encounter until college themselves. That kind of access changes what students believe is possible.

The Right Tools for the Job

SmartLab selects durable, reusable kits designed for real learning environments. Each item is organized, labeled, and classroom-tested to minimize prep time and maximize use. SmartLab includes a built-in refresh cycle as part of its long-term support model—ensuring that tools and content stay current—and an innovation credit that schools can use annually to replace consumables or expand their equipment library. Replenishment options and sustainability are part of every implementation. The following examples are drawn from various grade levels and curriculum area.

Tools That Spark Curiosity and Confidence

When students can physically build, test, and iterate, they become invested in their learning. Educators say SmartLab tools spark curiosity, boost confidence, and encourage participation—even from students who typically hang back.

What Educators Say

Chad Burrows

Student engagement is at levels I have never seen in my 23 years of teaching. Students love the lab and are constantly asking if they can come down in their free time to continue working with Ukits, or Engino, etc. I’ve never been busier as a teacher, but also have never had more fun. It’s encouraged me to gladly take work home and get more proficient in areas such as coding and circuitry. I see myself as a lifelong learner, and this lab not only meets the needs of my students but also fulfills my own growth as a facilitator and person. I appreciate my administration for investing in this lab and appreciate SmartLab for offering such an incredible product!!!

“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.”
