Lele Art Lab

We provide tested, scaleable maker labs to foster youth environmental engagement and catalyze ocean action. Made to educate, empower, and activate youth as leaders in the ocean space. As a result, youth sidelined from science show up as explorers, makers and doers who - turn science into art for ocean action. Designing better and smarter for our ocean's future. Our diverse and comprehensive project-based programs teach critical and creative thinking, communication and problem solving skills. Sparking a profound sense of ocean conservation and environmental responsibility for local lands, our oceans and waterways. Lele Art Lab is a mobile, push-powered art lab and environmental aquatics program for K-12 in South Florida. We unite the power of art with the practice of science, to redefine how youth learn about the ocean. To solve the loss of science learning, making it less complex, more inclusive and ever more engaging via project-based, art, design, and science discovery programs. We've collaborated with multitude of partners at the municipal level to design and pilot projects, addressing critical issues like sea level rise, water quality, marine habitats, coral restoration, hydroponics, and the identification of microplastics to go beyond raising awareness. Empowering young individuals by providing them with skills, creative access, and policy knowledge, enabling them to take on leadership roles in the climate movement.Ocean trash turns into art and the 3 R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) adds to our scientific method. Youth train as citizen scientists, artful maker labs replace science lessons and in the words of a student: "protecting the planet is so cool."
