Our lab specializes in solving authentic problems. Here problems will be collected and categorized into several types.
Problem Bank
The GEMS Innovation Lab Problem Bank
Prototyping and Inventing Problems
Students use lab resources, such as 3d printing, laser cutting and circuitry to create a physical solution to the problem.
R and D Lab Problems
Students explore tools and resources that we are not yet using and figure out what they can do for us in the Innovation Lab and beyond.
Global Inquiry Project Problems
Students identify and address a global problem framed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Design Thinking Team Problems (PBL)
Students work collaboratively to address school, community, or global problems
