Learning Sciences Lab

The Learning Sciences Lab aims to empower learners, in schools and beyond, through design research centered on enabling tools and participatory cultures.  As the first such lab in Asia (2005), we focus on transforming learning using interdisciplinary approaches that cut across methodologies and scales of educational theory and practice.

Learning Sciences Lab explores learning and teaching wherever the action is. Our central goal is to involve children and adults in creating opportunities to make learning not only possible but available and better.
