Newton’s Lab is a unique place where kids experience how the physical world works. Providing hands-on fun through building, tinkering, and experimenting.
Newton’s Lab was founded by Bob Gilkison in 2012 as a way to share his passion for teaching kids and building things. He believes today’s culture has shifted away from being the innovative creators of the 19th century into a consuming populous without creativity. In an effort to reintroduce our kids to the elegance of tinkering and experimenting, Mr. Gilkison hopes to inspire the next generation of inventors with this endeavor.
