Creativity Lab

Limited access to laboratory and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) tools in schools affects children's interest in STEM subjects as they graduate from the primary level to high school and university. Overtime, this can negatively impact the quality of innovations that would otherwise drive the increasing technological growth of our country and the ability of students to participate in the global STEM 'revolution.' Thus, Creativity Lab exists to bridge that gap by offering an innovative approach to teaching STEM, providing educational resources and practical tools for students to build their skills in robotics, creative coding and engineering. Primarily, Creativity Lab also works with schools to support teachers to incorporate STEM activities into the classroom and conduct after school STEM workshops for children. Our inclusive model is particularly aimed towards making a positive impact with schools located in rural communities that may not have full access to STEM resources. Incorporating hands-on STEM experiments in the classroom adheres to a competency-based curriculum and offers students the opportunity to challenge their critical thinking, problem solving skills and creativity. Creativity Lab is building the next generation of problem solvers while preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow and knowledge to be active participants globally.
