A Brand New Learning Arena That Will Change The World!!!
Imagine entering a space that awakens your senses, appeals to your curiosity, and makes you want to explore and experiment. You are met by all the colours of the rainbow, inspiring banners, exciting tasks, fun games, and challenging puzzles
You learn how to use tablets and can explore a whole universe of apps giving you infinite challenges. By trying and failing, and trying again - your accomplishments are rewarded.
You learn because you want to, and as you master new skills, you want to learn even more
You are in a Learning Lab... and it’s full of educational wonders!
There are no teachers in a Learning Lab. Instead, there are facilitators, it is their job to guide the students to learn using all the amazing educational materials available within the Lab.
What Is A Learning Lab?
A Learning Lab is a new learning arena with progressive learning stations that combines the technology of tablets with educational apps and hands-on tasks. The design allows students to move between stations and different types of games, and progress at their own pace and at their own level. In a Learning Lab, Learning is fun, and every material is developed to make students feel like they are mastering learning.
A Learning Lab Enables Students to Learn In Every Kind Of Way
The Literacy Lab
Learning to read and write happens in phases. The Literacy Lab has 9 stations to help students learn each of the phases. Every station has a collection of inspiring banners, educational apps & hands-on games, all designed to inspire students to learn for themselves, at their own level and pace.
We have developed over 100 edcuational apps based on the phases of learning to read and write. These apps match, and are played at each of the stations in the Literacy Lab. The apps work incredbily well at focusing the students learning, with levels that get harder and harder, meaning students can keep coming back for more practice even after they have mastered some of the phase.
The Literacy Lab makes learning to read and write fun. Students who come into the Lab do not want to leave. The educational apps and hands-on games make students feel like they are mastering learning, and will want to carry on learning as much as they can. The Literacy Lab has proved so effective, that students can learn to read and write in just weeks…how cool it that!
Students who learn by themselves, for themselves, at their own level and pace, learn so much more!!!
The Numeracy Lab
The Numeracy lab makes learning maths fun! Learning Numeracy goes in phases that need to be mastered in the right order. This Lab is split into 8 stations. Every station represents a different phase in the learning process of learning foundational numeracy. Every station is full of fun educational apps and hands-on games that help students learn in a different way.
On each station there is a collection of hands-on games and apps for the students to play. Each game and app has a learning outcome related to the station it is assigned to. Each game and app helps the student to learn the learning outcome of a station in a different way. This hans-on game helps students recognise numbers and different ways to represent them.
Students have so much fun learning numeracy in our specially designed Numeracy Lab. Students now only have fun, they learn quicker, and their learning is so much stronger. The Learning Lab concept encourages students to learn for themselves, by themselves, which makes their learning outcomes stronger than when they are told and repeat things.
Learning Labs work worldwide, across all ages, all backgrounds, all languages, and all levels...they really are that AMAZING! Adults learn so much, and so quickly in Learning Labs.
The Entreprenurship Lab
The Entreprenurship Lab is newly developed in 2022 and has been a huge success already, with 4 set up and many more planned.

The most important thing in a Learning Lab is that students have a good learning outcome…every time they use the Lab!!!
