PioneerLAB Core Studio is a 28-week, full-year technology and innovation program for teens ages 13-17. The program is designed to build strong foundations in computational thinking, programming, systems thinking and technical judgment, so students can understand how technology works and continue adapting as tools change.

The year unfolds through three connected studio phases. In Fall, Code Architects develops the logic behind digital and physical systems. In Winter, Interactive Futures explores applications, data and intelligent systems. In Spring, Future Prototypes brings the year together through a larger capstone challenge with increasing student choice and independence.

Students learn through purposeful projects that move from understanding and modifying systems to building, integrating, testing and explaining systems of their own. AI is introduced as a collaborator within that process, while students remain responsible for understanding the work, checking results and making final decisions.
