Have you heard of the Idea Lab?

Idea Lab is an organization that provides classes, camps, and after school programs, offering your children a wide variety of fun and diverse activities that will help enrich their lives. Everything from cooking school, robotics, 3D art, engineering, and science are covered at Idea Lab. Children are naturally inquisitive, and as they learn best through doing, experimenting, and exploring, they can participate in many hands-on activities through science and math that will engage their critical-thinking skills and imagination.

From figuring out the mechanics of spaceship engineering using recycled materials to creating scrumptious desserts in the Culinary Arts series, the kids in Idea Lab programs are given the necessary tools to invent, question, and learn. They are encouraged to think “outside the box” and develop solutions through science, technology, arts, creativity, and natural play.

Kids start off with an insatiable curiosity and desire to learn about the world. Sometimes this gets stifled, but when a student enjoys learning and is encouraged to follow their passions, learning in every area begins to come more naturally. With an opportunity to explore and take a vital role in their own learning, they enjoy greater success in school, but more importantly, they preserve and develop their curiosity and passions, and create a personal culture of education and discovery that will stay with them all their lives.

The Idea Lab has multiple locations in Calgary, making it a convenient option for parents looking for after school activities. With the Idea Lab in nearly every part of the city, check to see if there’s a location that works for you.

Whether you’re looking for academic enrichment for your child, or your child would love the chance to explore their passions and interests, the Idea Lab will have something you’ll both love. And new programs are developed and implemented throughout the year, to keep things fresh and exciting. Make a robotic creature? Sure! Work with hydraulics? No problem! Come see what all the excitement is about at Idea Lab!
