What is iLab?iLab lets you innovate and launch an idea to the world around you. Have an idea for a really cool homework App or a smart gadget? Been thinking about a better way to save the whales? Plug your ideas into iLab and make it happen.
Don't have any earth-shattering ideas right now? That's cool. Join one of our iLab student teams and work together on solving some big, real-world problems in our local community. |
How does iLab work?The first step is a series of Design Thinking workshops offered at Traip Academy. This will give you the tools and basic skills to start developing your own ideas into something real.
The commitment is just a few hours a week for a few months and the result could change the way you look at school and your future forever. |
Why should you do iLab?Education is evolving, but we believe it’s not evolving fast enough to meet the complete needs of today’s students. iLab goes beyond fostering creativity in students, and focuses on “creativity with purpose” through real-world, student-driven projects.
We have a squad of independent thinkers who can help you achieve almost anything. You just need to supply the passion and the ideas. |
Here's to the crazy ones...“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The troublemakers. The rebels. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

The next generation of changemakers..."Students are the next generation of changemakers, but they must be better equipped to make change. How might we help improve students’ personal, academic, and professional skills, while also engaging their communities?”
