"Lab_13 is a dedicated science space in the school, managed by the pupils, for the pupils, where experiments are driven by imagination and curiosity, independently of the curriculum."
Jennifer Hogan first Scientist in Residence at Lab_13 Irchester |
Student-run Science LabA STEM science lab managed by young people for young people, designed to encourage them to experiment, play, invent, design, solve problems, explore, and work alongside a scientist, inventor or engineer in residence.
A management team of pupils from years 5 and 6 work together to develop Lab_13. Each pupil has selected their own role to help shape how they want to use the space and even created the job description for the scientist in residence. A Scientist in Residence guides the students and stimulates their creative ideas through Lab_13. Every class in the school will get the chance to come and develop their ideas at Lab_13. There will be after school clubs, lunchtime clubs and holiday clubs for the very eager scientists!
