“At Grady A. Brown, the Discovery Lab was born from two teachers who, in 2016, combined their Burroughs Wellcome Fund PRISM Awards to create a space where science, math, and imagination could collide. They didn’t just build a lab; they built confidence. While GAB isn’t a Community School, it sits just down the road from one—and that proximity has become a partnership.
This fall, GAB opened its doors to welcome administrators, teachers, and Community School Coordinators from across the state who are preparing to launch their own labs through a university-assisted community school (UACS) pilot with students from Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering. What began as one school’s innovation is now a shared learning opportunity connecting educators from different districts and models around a common goal: hands-on, whole-child learning.”
