“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.”
Learning Programs
Empower Students with Innovative STEM + CTE Solutions for Your District
SmartLab helps students go beyond content mastery. By solving real-world problems with authentic tools and collaborating with purpose, they build skills—and the confidence—to see themselves in future careers. That’s where STEM identity takes root.
Hear educators talk about the experience.
See students bring it to life.
Four programs. One powerful framework.
SmartLab Learning Programs include Spark, Explorer, Pathfinder, and Studio. Each is grounded in SmartLab’s five-part framework—curriculum, tools, learning environment, educator support, and sustainability—but structured for different goals. Spark, Explorer, and Pathfinder provide hands-on STEM curriculum built around hands-on, career-connected projects. Studio is a flexible program that gives schools access to the same tools and technology, with educator training and implementation tailored locally.
Explorer introduces STEM tools through flexible, interdisciplinary challenges that connect classroom learning to the world around them. A unit might ask students to design an accessible playground, test wind-powered vehicles, or engineer water filters.
Pathfinder prepares students for CTE pathways by deepening their technical fluency, problem-solving skills, and career awareness. Students explore urban planning, biomedical engineering, or smart agriculture—building both expertise and purpose.
Spark invites students to follow their curiosity while building foundational fluency with STEM tools, systems, and ideas. A student might prototype a musical instrument, design a simple machine, or model a water cycle with coding tools.
Studio offers advanced STEM tools and training to support student exploration. Without a formal curriculum, facilitators integrate these tools into instruction based on local goals, student needs, and educator strengths.
SMARTLAB LEARNING PROGRAMS
Learning is
different here.
In SmartLab programs, students don’t just receive knowledge. They use it.
As educators in the video explain, play and exploration aren’t side activities; they’re essential to how students build skill, identity, and confidence. When students have the space to test ideas, take risks, and create solutions, they start to believe their ideas matter. That’s when engagement becomes purpose.

Hear from our educators.
“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.”
“By moving beyond textbooks and theory, investing in SmartLab HQs technology gives students a chance to succeed in an ever-changing, fast-moving environment while fostering essential skills such as communication, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. We’re equipping students with the tools, resources, and confidence to adapt to new technologies and ideas that push the world forward.”
“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.”
