ABOUT GIANT ROOM

GIANT Room Overview

The GIANT Room is an Innovation Hub for children to discover interests, imagine challenges they care to solve, get messy and bring their ideas into reality. It is an innovation hub because it is all about children creating something new. It is a hub because we believe the process of generating new things is social and is best done with a community. The GIANT room resembles the cool and playful culture of a startup paired with roots in the learning sciences. The goal is for GIANT kids to be ready to face the fast paced ever changing future of work and ultimately create the world where they want to live.
