IDIYA Labs

Did you know that innovation labs increase a student's chance of landing a professional career after graduation?

When it comes to candidates who have been STEM educated, versus ones who have not, corporations are more likely to choose the ones who have been educated through STEM solutions.

Our innovation labs are where the magic happens.

An IDIYA Lab is a place where students gather to work collaboratively, independently and/or creatively on projects. Innovation labs provide tools and workspaces for students to prototype, invent, collaborate, and learn. Equipment and tools can include 3D printers, design software, robotics, electronics, craft and hardware supplies, woodworking, laser cutters, computer controlled mills, hand tools, and much more.
