DEILAB™ (pronounced "Day-Lab") our programs cultivate innovation through project based learning using "Toys As Tools to Teach".
We offer STEM/STEAM workshops/events in day-school & after-school settings as well as summer camps and professional development About DEILAB:
DEILAB (pronounced day-lab) was founded on the belief that art, design, science and technology, will trigger a culture of innovation critical to our ability to compete on a world stage. The program focuses on idea generation (ideation), iteration (prototypi
ng), as tools for innovation using hands on LEGO projects as an activating agent in the chain of events. The programming fans out into corporate workshops for adults, and summer camps, after school programs and parties. DEILAB’s curriculum is based on mechanical, artistic, architectural design and engineering projects. DEILAB Programs:
- Stimulate and develop imagination, critical thinking, and refine creative skills.
- Inform perception; engage ideation and problem solving skills
- Develop a sense of craftsmanship, and quality task performance
- Build self-confidence and the ability to imagine new possibilities
- Create an environment for team-building
S.T.E.M + Art = S.T.E.A.M
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math)
S.T.E.M is an acronym for the integrated study of science, technology, engineering, and technology. S.T.E.A.M adds “art” into the equation. Art is the spark that breathes life into STEM. Without it, innovation is nonexistent. No inventions, discoveries, advances in technology would exist without creativity, ideation, analysis and iteration. Art + Design are poised to transform our economy in the 21st century just as science and technology did in the last century. Programming:
DEILAB programming is built around the application of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (S.T.E.A.M.). These soft skills are convergent and complementary where art and engineering blend successfully to leverage the capacity of human intelligence, adaptability, and innovation. Our unique programing empowers participants to pursue the art of making practical the application of innovation and ideation in the construction of machines, towers, race cars, bridges, and city designs. We create meaningful group experiences in any setting where collaboration and innovation are key factors to an organizations success. The cornerstone of the DEILAB model is to reintroduce adults to their inner-child at the height of their innovative power. Logistics:
DEILAB provides all of the equipment for its classes. We require open floor space in a multipurpose room, classroom or gym for project building. We take great care of the space that we use, and return it to the condition when we first arrived.

A practical, yet often overlooked, topic of debate is how to handle disparities in technology access. While many STEAM projects rely on access to computers, 3D printers, coding software, and other expensive tools, not all students have the same resources.
disagree on how to address this: some advocate for a curriculum that can be done with low-cost or no-cost materials, while others focus on securing grant money or school funding to ensure everyone has access to the same high-tech equipment, even if only in the classroom.
Whatever side of the debate you are on we understand you educators have tons of live experience in the classroom to have a valid case to make! DEILAB Innovation Labs are designed to blend basic hands-on project with basic tech advances to help students continue to grow and understand how projects come in various ways for their benefit!
We would love to hear your insights!!

3 of the primary
1️⃣ Visual Learning:
Learn by seeing and observing.
2️⃣ Auditory Learning:
Learn from spoken instructions.
3️⃣ Kinesthetic Learning:
Learn from experience, hands-on practice.
There is no evidence showing that identifying and teaching to a particular learning style enhances leaning.
So we design our programs to combine all three leaning styles! Toys are fun...but using "Toys as Tools to Teach" makes the DEILAB experience a well-rounded one!
