Child Creativity Lab

About Child Creativity Lab

Founded in 2012, Child Creativity Lab’s mission is to foster the next generation of critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and leaders through hands-on creativity-enhancing exploration. By blending creativity, STEAM, the open-ended Design Thinking Methodology, and environmentally-conscious material reuse, Child Creativity Lab inspires students to learn vital skills necessary to compete and lead the 21st-century workforce—raising children’s potential for personal development and entrepreneurial contributions to society. CCL offers a variety of programs to support students and educators, including STEAM workshops that meet Next Generation Science Standards, professional development and curriculum support for educators, and a depot housing over 12,000 pounds of recycled materials for creating. CCL’s approach differs from other STEM programs in that it encourages children to use their own ideas and creativity to solve problems rather than being presented with step-by-step solutions. Students leave our workshops with not only engineering and physics concepts but are empowered with a newfound confidence in themselves and their ability to conquer any challenge they may face in the future.
