Clone of After School Inspiring Minds

🌟 The Lab: Teens in Tech 🔬

A transformative experience powered by The Allen Blash Foundation

We’re excited to announce the launch of The Lab: Teens in Tech at Spartanburg Preparatory School! The program begins Wednesday, November 5th.

The Lab: Teens in Tech is a 25-week after-school experience designed to introduce middle school students to the world of technology, innovation, and leadership. Through mentorship, STEM exploration, and hands-on activities, students will gain real-world skills that prepare them for future success in both academics and life.

Participants will dive into exciting areas like LEGO robotics, drone piloting, coding, and engineering challenges, all while developing essential life skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Whether your child dreams of becoming an engineer, wants to learn how technology shapes our world, or simply loves to build and create, The Lab: Teens in Tech offers a safe, engaging, and empowering environment where every student can thrive.

This application is your first step in joining a community of innovators, leaders, and creators shaping the future right here at Spartanburg Prep.
