Legacy Lab

engage. encourage. change.

At Lamp Rynearson, we believe that every student brings something special to the table. Creative problem-solving thrives when we have a variety of ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives working together. Sometimes, it can be hard to know which path to take or how to share your unique talents with the world.

That’s why Lamp Rynearson created the Legacy LAB: a space where you’re encouraged to explore new possibilities, discover your strengths, and work together to make a difference.

The Legacy LAB is a program aimed at K-12 students. In it, a group of mentors – employees from Lamp Rynearson dedicated to sparking that interest in engineering fields, will come to local classrooms and give an engineering experience. The mentors will present a simple engineering topic, then applicable concepts, and end with an interactive activity. The Legacy LAB continues to expand its library of interactive and educational engineering activities to provide curriculum centered topics. The possibilities are endless!

This level of STEM education helps create critical thinkers and skills in science literary, expertise often sought for and heavily used in the engineering world. Following one of our core values, this program will change the engineering mentality and perception; and spark an interest in those who may not think they belong. Together, we can build the engineers of tomorrow!
