Mind Lab 21 redefines the 21st century student.

​

No longer is it enough to memorize and regurgitate lists of facts.

​

The future will demand more from our kids.

​

Children with learning disabilities may be at a disadvantage in a traditional classroom, but they are exceptionally well-situated to thrive in a self-directed, project-based, interdisciplinary learning environment.

​

Working side-by-side, solo or in small groups, each child will have the chance to select a project based on their own interests.

 

The student will follow their own research trail, checking in with the instructor for periodic guidance, and then physically or digitally create a culminating project.

​

Students will fail, learn from that failure, and try again. They will explore new ideas in a physically and socially safe space. They will give and receive help from their peers.

​

And, perhaps most importantly, they will re-envision learning as fun.
