Our Story

Our Story

Meu Labs comes into being to fill in the gaps of an outdated, conventional education system where students endure a mechanical process of memorising and repeating.

We bring the ideal standards of education into reality, in other words we are what you wish school to be: An open-learning environment where students are encouraged to learn what they love in the way they enjoy, and receive a holistic education to face the challenges of tomorrow.

As a modern take on STEAM, we have curated a world-class curriculum drawing inspiration from celebrated institutes such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and Elon Musk’s Astra Nova, and following advice from influential academic counsellors of such institutes.

 

Vision and Mission

We hope to nurture a generation of innovators, creative thinkers and problem solvers by bringing our collective wisdom in Industry and Academia to transform the traditional classroom into an inventive and progressive learning environment.

Meu Labs is certified by STEM.org a global accrediting body for STEM programmes
