The NCTIES 2026 Student STEM Showcase proves once again that curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning are the keys to igniting young minds β perfectly aligned with MyLabβs mission to empower schools, teachers, parents, and children with tools to bring science to life from Grade 4 to 12.
β₯ Over 300 students joined educators in Raleigh to present real-world STEM projects.
β₯ From hydro-powered arms to robotic insects and magnetic flood gates, students demonstrated how hands-on science fosters problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation.
β₯ Educators emphasised that these experiences help students think critically, design creatively, and collaborate effectively β skills essential for the future.
π How This Connects to MyLab
At MyLab, we believe every child deserves the chance to explore science through touch, experimentation, and discovery. The showcase highlights exactly why:
βΊ Hands-on learning builds confidence β students see their ideas come alive.
βΊ Science becomes accessible β complex concepts are simplified through practical experiments.
βΊ Curiosity drives literacy β just as the New York Academy of Sciences noted, scientific literacy begins with curiosity, and MyLab kits are designed to spark it.
β¨ Our Mission
βAt MyLab, our mission has always been clear: to empower schools, teachers, parents, and children with the tools to bring science to life β from Grade 4 through Grade 12.β
The projects at NCTIES mirror what MyLab kits make possible in classrooms across Africa and the Global South: year-round, hands-on science and chemistry that transforms education into legacy.
π Call to Action
Letβs ignite young minds, one school, one kit, one future at a time.
