Mira Model School - Innovation Lab

Mira Model School Innovation Lab “When we allow children to experiment, take risks, and play with their own ideas, we give them permission to trust themselves. They begin to see themselves as learners who have good ideas and can transform their own ideas into reality” (Martinez & Stager, 2013, p. 36).  MMS Innovation Lab is a workplace where students have an opportunity to learn , experiment, explore, think, imagine, question, create and innovate,  especially through hands-on DIY( Do-It-Yourself) interactions. Innovation Lab aims to empower students, helping them to shift from being passive consumers of education to active innovators. MMS Innovation Lab is a mindset not a space. The focus is on the development of a wide range of 21st-century skills of critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, computational thinking, designing thinking and physical computing. The tools and learning may include everything from woodworking ,to electronics, laser cutting,
