Worlds first Creativity Lab

Meet Malcolm - our Creativity Lab teacher! 🤩

Malcolm is 28 years old and lives in Kilifi but is from Western Kenya. Curiosity about the name “Creativity Lab” was what made him apply for the job.

“My first thought when I saw the school and the especially the open classrooms was ‘wow’

The Creativity Lab I run is an open, interactive space designed to foster children’s imagination and creative thinking.

Equipped with tablets, art supplies, and comfortable seating, it offers an environment where students can engage in drawing, painting, modeling and music among many other activities.

The lab’s objective is to nurture creative expression as envisioned with Leap Learning and also complement the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) by providing hands-on experiences that encourage innovation, problem-solving, and artistic exploration, all while promoting a relaxed, student-centered approach to learning.” The vision of the Creativity lab is:

To inspire, to give the students a creative mindset and to be able to create. 

Learn various techniques by what is around in nature and community. 

Focus on making things that can be used and have a quality. 

To learn how to learn new skills for future jobs and making money. This is what our good friend Marit, the founder of Leap Learning, says about it:

"Leap Learning has developed an innovative educational method that uses technology to empower students to learn how to learn, no matter where they are or who they are in the world. We combine technology with hands-on games in a flipped classroom model called Leap Learning Labs), featuring stations designed to ensure that all learners can progress at their own level and pace."

We think the students do too. 😉
