Learning’s different here…
To succeed in a global economy, today's learners need more than core academics alone. They need to be able to collaborate and solve complex problems. They need to be able to adapt to new challenges and new technologies. They must be able to manage time and resources and to communicate effectively. They need 21st century skills. This is the focus of the SmartLab learning system.
SmartLabs are fully-integrated, technology-rich learning systems that include hardware, software, furniture, electronics, multimedia equipment, construction kits and manipulatives, curriculum and assessment tools, professional development and ongoing support. Every SmartLab is individually designed to support the unique academic missions of our school partners. It's no secret that students learn faster and retain more when they're challenged and engaged.That's the cornerstone of the SmartLab learning system. The SmartLab's hands-on, student-centered approach meets every learner where they are and takes them as far as they are able. Through the application of technology-based tools to academically-linked projects, students are motivated to explore topics of personal interest in a rigorous, standards-based context. Our unique Learning Launcher™ curriculum provides each student with a foundation in applied technology including mechanics and structures, computer graphics, science and data acquisition, multimedia, publishing, robotics and control technology, circuitry and computer simulation. The SmartLab ePortfolio System™ guides learners through a systematic approach to setting objectives, planning and managing project resources, documentation and presentation of learning, and self-assessment. Our school partners tell us that the SmartLab motivates, engages and challenges their students like no other learning experience. They tell us that the SmartLab complements and strengthens their core academic programs. They tell us that the SmartLab helps them fulfill their academic missions. But don't take our word for it. We encourage you to visit a SmartLab in your area to discover first-hand, how we transform learning.
