In the Creativity Lab, we use the scientific method expressed in the following sequence : “Test – Evaluate – Adjust the design.” This powerful process of learning by doing looks at “mistakes” not as failures but as opportunities for innovation. The Creativity Lab studio classes are based in problem solving and collaboration. We use simple materials to create complex structures, and students learn how to use basic hand tools and operate power tools such as drill presses and scroll saws. Students achieve an understanding that mistakes, improvisation, and exploration are part of the creative process.
