The Innovation Lab is the PAST Foundation’s “test kitchen,” where we brainstorm the creation of summer STEM experiences for the students. And today, we’re talking to two of the people responsible for creating these experiences: Ashley Price, Assistant Director of Bridge Programs at the PAST Innovation Lab, and Laura Bloch, a student at Columbia University who is working towards her master’s degree in Instructional Technology and Media.

Laura and Ashley walk us through the challenges of leading diverse groups of students, embracing failures both in children and as teachers, and creatively linking real world problems with education-based solutions.
