WHAT IS IDEA LAB KIDS? The Idea Lab started just like it’s name : as an idea. A bright, shining plan to have a place where children could freely explore their curiosities in science and technology.
EXPLORE
The Idea Lab has grown into a spectactularly successful program. Now, children PreK and up are learning hands-on, outside their class rooms, and expanding their minds in the worlds of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics.
COOKING
Idea Lab kids are changing the world one great idea at a time.
