SmartLab earns new ISTE Seal for PBL + STEM curriculum and platform! READ THE ARTICLE
why smartlab learning?
Tomorrow’s world needs innovators, entrepreneurs, and creative problem-solvers. That’s where we come in.
Developing essential skills
To effectively prepare for these unknowns, learners must have a balanced understanding of content and essential skills. With SmartLab Learning, students practice the 4Cs: they become collaborators, ask compelling questions, communicate their thoughts clearly, and creatively solve problems all while reinforcing core math and science concepts.
Who it Helps
Younger students connect their personal interests to core math and science concepts.
Older students apply core math and science concepts to innovative technologies while identifying career paths.
Educators are supported with a suite of resources that adapts to changing technologies and methodologies, so they can learn alongside their students.
Tomorrow’s employers can hire workers who are adaptable, effective communicators, and have impressive critical-thinking skills.
Employers often report that they’re looking for applicants who demonstrate problem-solving and critical thinking skills. With SmartLab Learning, students develop next-generation workplace skills—both “hard” and “soft.”
Problem Solving
With our SmartLab Learning Process learners approach projects as curious problem-solvers.
Expanded Toolset
Learners apply core math and science concepts to ever-evolving technologies, expanding their toolset to approach unfamiliar problems.
SMART Goals
Learners develop SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-based) and are encouraged to explore, document, and evaluate their process as they work toward those goals.
Communications Skills
Daily journals and project presentations help students develop practical communications skills, both written and oral.
Collaboration
Every SmartLab Learning project is designed for students to work in pairs, fostering effective collaboration skills as they learn to value one another’s perspectives.
“The SmartLab HQ has opened a whole new way of learning and developing career paths for our high school students. We have been able to open them up new career ideas that many have never considered or even knew existed. In our lab the students have become licensed drone pilots who are working in the field, are coding their own apps to solve equations, have developed websites for outside businesses, and have decided to go to college for engineering in various fields. The kids in our lab are truly making life decisions about their future careers. None of that would have happened before you installed this lab.”
We’re excited to hear from you. Let’s change the way your students engage with math and science–in and outside the classroom.
