Explorer Curriculum Overview 2025

SmartLab FLEX Flexible STEM learning that adapts to any space and empowers students, teachers, and schools. SmartLab FLEX is designed for schools seeking high- quality STEM learning through flexible delivery, whether implemented in a dedicated space or integrated into multiple classrooms, existing makerspaces, or other learning environments. SmartLab FLEX offers schools the opportunity to bring the transformative Explore (K- 5) and Pathfinder (6-8) learning experiences to life—all within an adaptable, scalable model that fits the unique needs of each school. Key Features of SmartLab HQ: Flexible Learning Environment: SmartLab FLEX empowers schools to implement the Explore and Pathfinder curriculum in any space— whether a dedicated STEM lab, traditional classroom, or shared multi-purpose room. This flexibility allows schools to deliver engaging STEM experiences that inspire creativity and critical thinking without the need for a purpose-built lab. Explore & Pathfinder Learning Experiences: SmartLab FLEX brings the same Explore and Pathfinder experiences available in SmartLab HQ, delivering a comprehensive K-8 STEM program focused on real-world challenges and career exploration. Students can build essential skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity through hands-on projects tailored to their grade levels. Scalable for Any School: SmartLab FLEX is designed to be scalable, whether a school is implementing STEM education for a single grade level or across multiple classrooms and grade bands. Schools can start small and grow their STEM program at a pace that meets their needs, all while ensuring students experience cutting-edge STEM learning.

No Installation Required: Unlike SmartLab HQ, SmartLab FLEX does not require formal installation. Schools set up the equipment and resources themselves, making it an ideal choice for those that already have established learning environments or prefer to manage their own setup. Schools are provided with everything they need to begin their Explore or Pathfinder journey. Teacher Empowerment: Teachers receive robust professional development and ongoing support, equipping them to deliver the Explore and Pathfinder curriculum effectively. Through cohort- based training and continuous resources, teachers can confidently create dynamic learning experiences for their students—no matter where learning takes place. The Experience: SmartLab FLEX offers the opportunity to implement Explore and Pathfinder experiences without the need for a dedicated lab space. Whether delivered in a classroom, a shared environment, or a dedicated space, students benefit from high-impact STEM learning that fosters innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration. With SmartLab FLEX, schools have the flexibility to bring world-class STEM education to any learning space, empowering students to see themselves as the problem-solvers, creators, and innovators of tomorrow.
