It is critical to apply knowledge and skills prior to taking action when encountering global challenges in life. According to Roger W. Bybee’s book, “The Case for STEM Education: Challenges and Opportunities,” today’s education should focus on generating a STEM literate society, build a generational workforce with 21st-century competencies, and contribute to the advanced research and development workforce focused on innovation.

Mind Labs Education fosters on this idea and builds to provide transformative learning experiences for K-12th students and adults across the U.S. With the collaboration of public and private organizations, we work together to developed engaging, hands-on activities focused in STEM-CS literacy, civic engagement, leadership, and cultural diversity. 

Our modules include:

• Exploring the relationship between force and motion by having the participants build their own Newton Rocket Car.
• Understanding the factors engineers need to consider when building walkways and buildings through exploring various shapes using different materials.
• Learning about the Mesoamerican civilization and its contributions to science. Participants will build their own Mayan temple.
