How CO.LAB works
CO.LAB introduces middle school girls to the principles of open source—and to a world of technology and collaboration they might not have considered otherwise. Students learn how to work together to solve problems, develop new ideas, and seek shared experiences to create something unique.
The curriculum leads participants through building and coding their own devices, using them for artistic exploration, and ultimately sharing their work with their communities. It’s a combination of circuit boards, programming, and art, approached through open source values.
Collaboration is a powerful catalyst for innovation and discovery. We’re teaching girls the collaborative skills of open source methods. We want to help them succeed in their pursuit of careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
CO.LAB is about working together with technology and art to inspire and empower the next generation of women in tech.
