Planned / Boston Seaport District

The Public Innovation Lab

Kids in Tech is planning a Public Innovation Lab in Boston's Seaport District: a community destination that extends our hands-on technology learning beyond the after school day.

What the Lab is for

Plans are still taking shape. What's set is the intent: a public, community-led home for technology learning in the Seaport District.

Hands-on learning, in public

A community-facing home for the same interactive, project-based technology learning that defines the After School Tech Club.

A wider front door

A place where kids and families who have never found an on-ramp into technology can walk in and start.

Partners in the room

A shared space where schools and industry partners can work alongside the young people the programs serve.

An institutional next chapter

The Lab marks the organization's growth from after school programming into a permanent public presence.

Who it's for

Families

A public place to explore technology together, in the spirit of our free programs.

Schools

A destination for student groups to extend classroom STEM learning into hands-on work.

Corporate partners

A venue for mentorship, volunteering, and sponsorship of the Lab's work.
