Our Programs
Spring 2020: registration CLOSED
WonderLab is a University Lab School for children grades 1-5. We engage students in creative hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities that provide opportunities for Lesley students who are studying in education related fields to work with children in a supported setting. WonderLab curriculum supports student interests, and takes advantage of state-of-the-art laboratories, local urban green space, and Lesley student and faculty expertise. WonderLab participants learn to develop their inner scientist and mathematician in a context that is personal, creative, and authentic.

PARTNERSHIP POTENTIAL
WonderLab is teaming up with the Cambridge Environmental Literacy Project to offer ecological STEAM-based field trips to an early start preschool and several kindergarten classrooms at local greenspaces and Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Lesley students will provide hands-on investigations such as macroinvertebrate sampling and pollinator monitoring that will engage students in authentic research-based experiences that supports Mt. Auburn citizen science projects. If you are interested in more information, send us an email.
