Thank You to Our Community: A Farewell from Cre8Lab​

After five years of serving our community through hands-on STEM education, Cre8Lab is closing its doors. Founded by Eric Brehm and Adam Waite, Cre8Lab was built on a passion for technology, creativity, and learning. Through volunteer-driven efforts and community support, we provided STEM workshops to over 1,000 youth, bridging gaps in STEM education and inspiring curiosity.

Our partnerships with local schools, libraries, and organizations helped us reach even more students, but as demand for workshops grew, sustaining Cre8Lab as a volunteer-led nonprofit became increasingly difficult. Now, we are proud to see STEM education thriving in our community, with larger organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Neenah and the Elisha D. Smith Public Library’s SMITHworks expanding their STEM learning spaces and resources.

Though Cre8Lab is coming to an end, our passion for STEM education, innovation, and creativity will continue. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported us—students, families, volunteers, donors, and community partners. Thank you for being part of this journey. Keep exploring, creating, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
