KOL-LAB: RASHI’S innovation LAB
What is the Kol-lab?
The Kol-lab is a space that provides students with tools, instruction, and opportunities to design, experiment, build, and invent as they engage in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics). Through hands-on making, students solve problems, build skills, and sharpen their critical thinking in order to tackle increasingly complex challenges. Students apply their learning in the Kol-lab to broaden the way they approach new topics. This space expands the possibilities of what they can create and gives them the confidence to be innovative risk-takers when faced with challenges or opportunities.
Some of the skills students learn in the Kol-lab include:
- Coding
- Laser cutting
- Programming
- Designing
- Scientific exploration
- AI & Machine Learning
- Circuitry
What Does “Kol-lab” Mean?
The name “Kol-lab” has multiple meanings. When said aloud, we hear the beginning of the word collaborate. In any STEAM Lab, collaboration is at the forefront of all making. Students work together to take their creativity as far as it can go.
In the Kol-lab, all voices matter and every voice has something to contribute. In Hebrew, the word כֹּל, pronounced kol, means all or every, and the word קוֹל, also pronounced kol, means voice. Our space captures all voices.
