Design. Engineering. Innovation.
DEILAB awakens creative problem-solving skills in people of all ages. We use “Toys as Tools to Teach” about Design, Engineering and Innovation concepts. For almost 10 years DEILAB (pronounced day-lab) has delivered fun and engaging hands-on project based learning through summer camps, in-school and after school programming for students of all ages and professional development for adults.
Studies have shown that an enchanted mind has unlimited learning capacity. Technology has pushed the pace of change in our lives to the point that lifelong learning is a necessity. DEILAB was founded on the knowledge that learning should be fun, our curriculum “gamifies” the learning process through collaborative challenges and competitions.

Steaming Beyond S.T.E.M !
S.T.E.M + Art = S.T.E.A.M
S.T.E.M is an acronym for the integrated study of
“Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math”.
S.T.E.A.M adds “Art” into the equation. Art is the spark that breathes life into STEM.
DEILAB is an applied STEM-TO-STEAM lab where we use toys as tools to teach students about rapid prototyping, data acquisition iteration and scale to reinforce the importance of data driven solution development.
These soft skills are convergent and complementary where art and engineering blend successfully to leverage the capacity of human intelligence, adaptability, and innovation.
Our Innovation Laboratory
D-E-I-‘Lab’: Any space where DEILAB conducts class is a ‘LAB’.
Innovation Labs are spaces where we understand, “Failure is Fuel for Success!”.
The goal of the laboratory is to catalyze ideation in teams and individuals. DEILAB leverages an innovation lab model designed to deliver STEAM programming to students. Labs focus on idea generation (ideation), iteration (prototyping), as tools to make STEM learning more accessible. We ignite students' imagination and challenge their critical thinking, helping them problem solve in a setting where they are empowered to take control of the learning experience.
