“The student experience in our SmartLab has positively transformed our school’s learning culture. Students become empowered and engaged as they apply content standards through the skills of critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration. I have yet to meet one student who doesn’t love this class nor benefit from the connected learning approach.”
STEM + STEAM Learning
in Wisconsin
MEET ACADEMIC NEEDS
Wisconsin’s Educational Mission
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has a clear vision for STEM learning: that “all students use a collaborative, innovative, and logic-based transdisciplinary approach, rooted in content knowledge, skills, and experiences, to identify and solve contemporary problems.”
This vision is founded on the notion that STEM is a holistic “transdiscipline,” helping young learners connect seemingly discrete concepts and academic subjects to real-world, relatable scenarios. This ability to make connections is precisely what SmartLab Learning aims to accomplish through hands-on, project-based learning for students of all ages and abilities.

Support STEM + STEAM Literacy
Per the goals of the Wisconsin DPI, all students in grades 4–12 should be actively developing “STEM literacy” through a cohesive, holistic, progressive curriculum. SmartLab Learning Solutions like the SmartLab HQ and SmartLab Studio help young learners become comfortable around technology and STEM concepts, identify new interests and abilities, and develop critical skills they can apply to their future careers.
