LIGHTYEAR LabS
Lightyear Labs take small groups of 11–16 years olds in special schools on a journey through science experimentation, once a week for a month. Our challenge-based learning methodology promotes experimentation and discovery while developing critical thinking, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
Our young Researchers don their own lab coats and test out a hypothesis…
Each lab runs for 4 sessions with up to 8 students for consolidated deep learning.
Our labs can be delivered in-person, online or a mixture of the two!
