“My favorite part about the SmartLab implementation is the one-on-one training in the environment where you’ll be teaching. With the SmartLab training, they come to you, it’s hands-on in your own environment so you can start implementing. All of the work that you do in your lab is preparation for your lab. It’s work
time as well as training, so it feels much more efficient and useful for the information.”

“SmartLab Learning’s turnkey solutions allowed us to move quickly to implement a district-wide STEM program…the SmartLab Learning solutions plus the professional development allowed our students to be actively engaged in project-based learning immediately.”
“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.”
“In our SmartLab, students become empowered and engaged as they use critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration to apply content standards. I have yet to meet a student who doesn’t love this class or
benefit from this connected approach to learning.”
