SmartLab

A hands-on, career-connected STEM ecosystem that builds real-world skills, confidence, and strong STEM identity to ensure every learner is future ready.

[SmartLab @SmartLab_tweets]

What if every student believed: I belong here. I can master rigorous challenges. My ideas make an impact. That belief is at the heart of a strong STEM Identity. On Friday, November 6, schools, businesses, and communities across the country will come together for the 2nd Annual SmartLab STEM Identity Day, a national celebration dedicated to helping students recognize their potential and see themselves in the future of STEM. Preparing students for the future is about more than introducing them to STEM careers. It’s about helping young people see what’s possible for themselves.

When business leaders, entrepreneurs and community professionals step into schools and share their own journeys, students begin to see how STEM connects to the real world. They discover careers they may never have considered, meet people who once had questions and challenges just like theirs, and start to imagine the role they could play in shaping what comes next.

As SmartLab CEO Dr. Jennifer Berry shares in our new STEM Identity Day video, investing in young people is an investment in both our future workforce and the future of our communities.

This November 6, we’re inviting you to be part of that investment.

Schools can host a STEM Identity Day experience. Businesses and organizations can partner with a local school. Professionals and community leaders can share their career journeys with students.

STEM is for everyone. Let’s help every student believe it.

Connect with SmartLab Senior Vice President of Sales Raymond Mitchell, M.Ed. at the 2026 Edu-Tech Academics Conference in San Antonio, TX on November 1-3, 2026, and join a conversation about one of the most important opportunities in K–12 education: helping every student develop a strong STEM Identity.

The future of STEM education begins with something more powerful than technology: a student’s belief in what they are capable of becoming. At SmartLab, STEM Identity is a learner’s self-belief that “I belong, I can master rigorous challenges, and my ideas have impact.” When students develop that belief, they begin to see challenges differently, recognize the value of their ideas, and imagine new possibilities for their futures.

That belief is at the heart of the SmartLab integrated STEM ecosystem, where hands-on, project-based learning connects classroom experiences to real-world applications and future careers. Students have meaningful opportunities to create, collaborate, solve problems, persevere through challenges, and experience the ah-HA! moments that build confidence, agency, and a sense of belonging.

And they’re developing far more than STEM knowledge. Through authentic, career-connected learning, students strengthen critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, adaptability, AI literacy, and the durable skills they’ll need to navigate an evolving world and help shape what comes next.

If you’ll be at the 2026 Edu-Tech Academics Conference in San Antonio, TX, connect with Raymond Mitchell, M.Ed. to explore what becomes possible when we design learning around not only what students need to know, but who they can become.

Discover how SmartLab is helping schools create future-ready learning environments where more students can confidently say: I belong here. I can do this. I add value. I’m future ready.

The future belongs to students who believe they can shape it. https://t.co/eOs6kgnrPO In an AI-powered world, preparing students for what comes next requires more than access to technology. It requires meaningful, hands-on experiences that build confidence, critical thinking, communication, creativity, and the ability to solve real-world problems.

On the Practical Pedagogy Podcast, host Anika sits down with SmartLab CEO Dr. Jennifer Berry to explore how K–12 STEM education must evolve to prepare future-ready students, and why experiential, project-based learning is more important than ever. At the heart of the conversation is STEM Identity: a learner’s self-belief that I belong, I can master rigorous challenges, and my ideas have impact. That belief is built through experience.

Inside SmartLab’s career-connected K–12 STEM ecosystem, students aren't simply learning about STEM. They are designing, building, testing, collaborating, communicating, revising, and solving authentic problems. These hands-on learning experiences give students evidence of their own capability while developing durable skills, career awareness, and workforce readiness.

Dr. Berry and Anika also explore a critical question for education today: How do we harness AI without allowing it to replace original human thought? The conversation highlights the importance of giving students space to think for themselves, generate original ideas, question information, communicate authentically, and use AI as a tool to strengthen their thinking rather than substitute for it.

From Dr. Berry’s own “spiderweb” career journey to hands-on STEM education, human connection, storytelling, career exploration, and STEM Identity, this episode is a powerful reminder that preparing students for the future isn't simply about teaching them to use the technology of tomorrow.

It’s about helping them believe they have something meaningful to contribute to it.

The most important skill students need for the future isn't coding. https://t.co/OlNXUrPGQa It's the ability to think for themselves, embrace challenges, and believe they have the power to make a difference. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and transforms the workforce, preparing students for the future requires more than technical knowledge. It requires building the confidence, creativity, resilience, and critical thinking skills to navigate a world where the challenges and opportunities are constantly evolving.

In a recent episode of Journey to Purpose, hosted by Philippa (Pippa) Bagley, SmartLab CEO Dr. Jennifer Berry shares how her remarkable journey from professional dancer to education leader shaped her perspective on learning, leadership, and the importance of perseverance. Their conversation explores why K–12 STEM education must move beyond memorization and standardized outcomes to create meaningful, career-connected learning experiences that empower students to think independently, solve real-world problems, collaborate, communicate, and learn through failure.

At SmartLab, we believe that hands-on, project-based learning is about more than developing STEM skills. It's about helping students develop their STEM Identity, the belief that they belong in STEM, can master rigorous challenges, and have ideas that make an impact. Through our integrated STEM ecosystem, students explore possibilities, discover their strengths, develop durable skills, and build the confidence to become innovators, problem-solvers, and future-ready leaders.

One of the most powerful insights from this conversation is the importance of listening. Whether leading an organization, empowering educators, or supporting students, meaningful impact begins with understanding the needs of others rather than assuming we already have the answers. The future belongs to learners who are curious enough to ask questions, courageous enough to take risks, resilient enough to learn from setbacks, and confident enough to believe their ideas can change the world.

That's the power of STEM Identity. And that's how we prepare students not just to participate in the future, but to help shape and lead it.

The greatest return on investment isn't measured in dollars. It's measured in futures transformed. When businesses and foundations invest in STEM education, they're doing more than funding classrooms. https://t.co/dJ8LPHS711 They're opening doors to possibilities students may never have imagined for themselves.

At SmartLab, our partners don't just write a check. They show up. They inspire. They invest in the potential of every student. They mentor future innovators, connect classroom learning to real-world careers, and witness firsthand the incredible things students can accomplish when given the opportunity to explore, create, and solve meaningful challenges. Imagine the impact of a student meeting an engineer, entrepreneur, or technology professional and suddenly seeing a future they never thought was possible. Those moments of connection can spark lifelong curiosity, ignite ambition, and help students recognize that their ideas and abilities have real value.

And the impact reaches far beyond the classroom.

Together, we're helping students develop their STEM Identity, building the confidence to believe “I belong here. I can do this. I add value. I'm future ready.” For our partners, it's about more than philanthropy. It's about strengthening communities, inspiring the next generation, and helping build the future workforce. These partnerships create a powerful connection between education and industry, giving students opportunities to explore career pathways while helping businesses invest in the talent, creativity, and innovation their communities will need tomorrow. It's an investment that creates opportunities for students, schools, businesses, and entire communities.

Because when you invest in students today, you help shape what's possible tomorrow.

Discover what SmartLab partners are saying about the impact they're making and why they continue to show up.

Preparing students for a future shaped by STEM, emerging technology, and AI means developing far more than technical skills. It means creating learning experiences that build confidence, curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to solve problems in a world that will continue to change. https://t.co/exK8QB3yCt SmartLab CEO Dr. Jennifer Berry joined host Ned Hayes on the DARE Podcast for an inspiring conversation about the future of K–12 STEM education and how schools can prepare students not simply for the careers of today, but for opportunities that have yet to be imagined.

Dr. Berry shares how hands-on, project-based learning and career-connected STEM education give students opportunities to explore real-world challenges, work collaboratively, experiment with ideas, learn through iteration, and discover what they are capable of achieving. These experiences help students develop the durable skills employers increasingly value, including communication, problem-solving, adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking, while building a strong foundation for future learning and workforce readiness.

At the heart of the conversation is STEM Identity, a learner’s self-belief that I belong, I can master rigorous challenges, and my ideas have impact. When students have meaningful opportunities to create, problem-solve, collaborate, and apply STEM concepts in authentic ways, they begin to see themselves differently. STEM becomes more than a subject they study. It becomes a way to discover their strengths, recognize their potential, and imagine new possibilities for their future.

And as AI continues to transform education and the workforce, those distinctly human capabilities become even more important. Students need opportunities to think critically about technology, communicate their ideas, collaborate with others, exercise discernment, and use powerful tools with creativity and purpose.

That is the opportunity behind a truly integrated K–12 STEM ecosystem: connecting engaging STEM curriculum, hands-on tools and technology, project-based learning, career exploration, educator support, and real-world application to create experiences that prepare students to thrive in school, careers, and an AI-powered world.

Great STEM learning begins with empowered educators. https://t.co/FjVMqtkArZ And today, we’re celebrating the platform designed to support them. We’re proud to announce that SmartLab® Spot has been named a winner of the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2026 in the Primary Education category! Tech & Learning’s judges recognized Spot for bringing curriculum access, training, support, and community resources together in one easy-to-navigate platform, helping reduce friction and making it easier for Facilitators to get what they need faster.

SmartLab Spot was built around an important belief: the educators creating powerful STEM experiences for students deserve an equally powerful system of support.
Through Community, the Help Center, Academy, Announcements, LearningHub access, and support, SmartLab Spot gives SmartLab Certified Facilitators a connected place to continue their professional learning, find answers, share ideas, access resources, and connect with the larger SmartLab community.

As Dr. Jennifer Berry, CEO of SmartLab, shared: “We are honored to receive the Tech & Learning Award of Excellence: Back to School 2026 for SmartLab Spot. Great STEM learning requires more than curriculum and technology. It requires empowered educators who have the resources, training, community, and support to bring those experiences to life. SmartLab Spot reflects our commitment to supporting educators so they can inspire students to see what they are capable of achieving.”

And Kristin Whalen, VP of Product & Experience at SmartLab, beautifully captures why supporting Facilitators matters: “Facilitators are the keystone species of the SmartLab ecosystem. When they're supported, everything around them thrives: learners feel they belong, ah-HA! moments multiply, and students build the STEM identity that makes them future ready. SmartLab Spot was built to give them exactly that support: curriculum, training, resources, and community, all in one place.”

This award belongs to the people at the heart of the SmartLab experience: our incredible Facilitators and teams who support them. When educators have the tools, professional learning, resources, community, and support they need to thrive, they can create the kinds of experiences that help students build confidence, strengthen their STEM Identity, and discover what they are capable of achieving.

We’re honored to have SmartLab Spot recognized by Tech & Learning and excited to keep building an integrated K–12 STEM ecosystem that inspires students, empowers educators, and expands access to career-connected STEM learning.

Connect with SmartLab Regional Sales Manager Tanya Tovar-Rabatte at the 2026 APSRC Annual Fall Conference in Hot Spring, AR on October 27th, and join a conversation about one of the most important opportunities in K–12 education: helping every student develop a strong STEM Identity.

The future of STEM education begins with something more powerful than technology: a student’s belief in what they are capable of becoming. At SmartLab, STEM Identity is a learner’s self-belief that “I belong, I can master rigorous challenges, and my ideas have impact.” When students develop that belief, they begin to see challenges differently, recognize the value of their ideas, and imagine new possibilities for their futures.

That belief is at the heart of the SmartLab integrated STEM ecosystem, where hands-on, project-based learning connects classroom experiences to real-world applications and future careers. Students have meaningful opportunities to create, collaborate, solve problems, persevere through challenges, and experience the ah-HA! moments that build confidence, agency, and a sense of belonging.

And they’re developing far more than STEM knowledge. Through authentic, career-connected learning, students strengthen critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, adaptability, AI literacy, and the durable skills they’ll need to navigate an evolving world and help shape what comes next.

If you’ll be at the 2026 APSRC Annual Fall Conference in Hot Spring, AR, connect with Tanya Tovar-Rabatte to explore what becomes possible when we design learning around not only what students need to know, but who they can become.

Discover how SmartLab is helping schools create future-ready learning environments where more students can confidently say: I belong here. I can do this. I add value. I’m future ready.
