The labs again are open, supervised spaces that have interesting material for students to explore and learn from. Younger children are also encouraged to develop a scientific temper and give expression to their curiosity.

The labs are the location of innovation and experimentation. During science classes and activity periods, students make models, give their ideas form and conduct research with scaffolding from teachers.
