FOR GRADES 6 TO 9
Interactive STEM Programs
Our interactive platform blends STEM education with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to take students from grades 6 to 9 on a virtual journey through flight, environment, into space and so much more.
Cultivating 21st century skills through virtual education
Using Illumia Labs STEM programs, students will build strong problem solving skills through collaboration, critical thinking, communication and creativity.
Then, they get to apply these newly acquired skills to solve real-world challenges grounded in science, technology, engineering and math content.
Put your students on the fast track to success.
Explore Illumia Labs, where students learn through feedback, problem solving and collaboration.
