About Living
Learning Labs

 The Living and Learning Labs (LLLs) are transformative educational spaces designed to integrate experiential learning, indigenous wisdom, and environmental stewardship into science curricula. These labs serve as living classrooms where students engage in hands-on activities that connect theory to lived experience. The goal is to nurture a generation of regenerative thinkers and responsible citizens who see science education not as an abstraction but as a means to improve their world.
