the magic that happens in a SmartLab?
The SmartLab team will be hosting school visits regularly during the 2024-25 school year. SmartLab school visits occur during the school day and typically last between 90 minutes and two hours.
The agenda will vary based on the school’s schedule, but they typically include a classroom observation, an opportunity to talk with the SmartLab facilitator and school administrator(s), and a debrief over snacks or a lite meal.
Your local sales rep will send you the detailed agenda for your school visit once you’ve registered.
Learning Objectives
Georgia’s Commitment to Education
The Georgia Department of Education aims to offer a holistic education to every child in the state, thereby graduating students who are “ready to learn, ready to live, and ready to lead.”
But what does this mean in the everyday classroom?
Georgia schools commit to preparing students for tomorrow’s careers. Combining project-based learning with high-quality, standards-aligned STEM/STEAM education makes learning more engaging and relevant. This approach drives active learning, where students tackle real-world problems and create innovative solutions through project-based learning.
Starting STEM education early builds a strong foundation for long-term success. It allows students to engage in authentic learning experiences and develop critical workplace skills. As they advance, they gain hands-on experience with the technology shaping today’s STEM fields of today and the future.
Let’s work together to ignite curiosity and passion in tomorrow’s innovators.
