Hands-on learning for every student, every day

Vision

Creativity, imagination, problem-solving, and the ability to learn are equitably distributed. Resources are not. Every student deserves the chance to develop their understanding and explore new interests through hands-on experiences. We're committed to making these opportunities accessible for all.

Approach

STEAM Milwaukee's Lend-a-Lab Program seeks to impact the highest leverage science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics learning opportunity, students' daily classroom experiences, by providing materials that teachers can use in their classrooms as well as lesson ideas and community support.

Kit Rentals

Classroom and individual kits are available for rental. Increase the breadth of your STEAM offerings while saving on time, costs, maintenance, inventory, and storage needs. Individual kits start at $5/week, with school partnerships available to provide affordable classroom access for the entire school year.
