The NCTIES 2026 Student STEM Showcase proves once again that curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning are the keys to igniting young minds — perfectly aligned with MyLab’s mission to empower schools, teachers, parents, and children with tools to bring science to life from Grade 4 to 12.
♥ Over 300 students joined educators in Raleigh to present real-world STEM projects.
♥ From hydro-powered arms to robotic insects and magnetic flood gates, students demonstrated how hands-on science fosters problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation.
♥ Educators emphasised that these experiences help students think critically, design creatively, and collaborate effectively — skills essential for the future.
🌍 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:
► Hands-on learning builds confidence — students see their ideas come alive.
► Science becomes accessible — complex concepts are simplified through practical experiments.
► Curiosity drives literacy — just as the New York Academy of Sciences noted, scientific literacy begins with curiosity, and MyLab kits are designed to spark it.
✨ Our Mission
“At MyLab, our mission has always been clear: to empower schools, teachers, parents, and children with the tools to bring science to life — from Grade 4 through Grade 12.”
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.
🚀 Call to Action
Let’s ignite young minds, one school, one kit, one future at a time.
