In March, our all-new LabVenture program was honored as a finalist for the SXSW EDU Learn by Design competition in Austin, TX. The SXSW EDUĀ® Conference & Festival fosters innovation in learning by hosting a community of optimistic, forward-thinking, purpose-driven stakeholders.

GMRI Chief Education Officer Leigh Peake traveled to the conference to showcase LabVenture alongside project partner Upswell.

ā€œIt was so rewarding to have LabVenture in the national spotlight at a conference that celebrates the best of the best in learning design,ā€ said Peake. ā€œTo share the stage with other amazing learning projects was truly inspiring.ā€

Chief Education Officer Leigh Peake gives a behind the scenes look at what goes into creating the LabVenture experience.
