Opening Summer 2022
In Spark!Lab, we believe everyone is inventive.
Every day we provide opportunities for children and families to explore their inventive creativity—to create, innovate, collaborate, and problem-solve—because these experiences empower kids to develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed today and in the future.
Spark!Lab was developed by the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.
