🚀 Pathway to Innovator Lab

Completed a Studio-Immersion Summer Camp with us?
You’ve completed both the Explorer and Creator levels within that Studio!

Students who complete Creator-level work in two different Studios — through summer Immersion camp(s), school-year programs, or a combination of both — are ready to advance into Innovator Lab, where learning becomes fully project-driven and student-led.

Innovator Lab is the next big step for students who want to keep building, creating, and exploring with confidence.
