Innovation Lab


The Innovation Lab fosters design-thinking skills in kids of all ages. In addition to hosting guest innovators for monthly workshops, our daily Mystery Box Challenges encourage kids to think creatively, develop problem-solving skills, and nurture a prototyping mindset. Challenges can be anything from creating a ladder for a fish to inventing a space suit for a shark. All the materials are provided in the Mystery Box. What will you create today?
