Frequently Asked Questions

Is MindLabs a complete curriculum?

Yes. MindLabs can be used as a complete STEM science curriculum for many homeschool families or as a hands-on supplement alongside your favorite homeschool program. Every unit includes guided lessons, engineering challenges, augmented reality experiences, and opportunities for reflection through CoLabs+.

What ages and grade levels is MindLabs designed for?


MindLabs is ideal for elementary learners in grades 3-5, with expanding content for middle school students through grade 8. Activities are flexible enough for siblings to learn together while allowing older students to dive deeper into the challenges.

Do I need a science background to teach with MindLabs?


Not at all. MindLabs was designed to make science approachable for every parent. Each lesson includes clear instructions, guiding questions, and hands-on activities that help you facilitate learning without needing to be a science expert.

How much time should I plan for each lesson?


Most lessons can be completed in 30 to 45 minutes, but the flexible format makes it easy to spread activities across multiple days or adapt them to your family's schedule.

Can I use MindLabs with more than one child?

Yes! Every homeschool license includes 5 student logins, making it easy for siblings to learn together. While each child has their own CoLabs+ Digital Notebook to capture reflections and showcase their work, your family can share the hands-on materials and augmented reality experiences.

What devices do I need?

MindLabs works on supported iPhone and Android smartphones as well as iPad and Android tablets.

For the best augmented reality experience, we recommend:

  • iPad (9th generation or newer)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, S8, or S9 series
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a great budget-friendly option.

CoLabs+ can also be accessed through a web browser, allowing students to complete reflections and learning activities from a computer when appropriate.

Do I need a separate device for each child?


No. Many homeschool families successfully share a compatible device during augmented reality activities. Because MindLabs combines hands-on investigations, engineering challenges, and digital learning, students spend much of each lesson exploring, building, and creating away from the screen.

Can I use it with my homeschool co-op?
