We founded the Maryland Curiosity Lab to provide children with opportunities to advance their learning through hands-on activities.
The Acton Children's Business Fair is the perfect example of the type of learning opportunity we seek to build — it's driven by the student, hands-on, and full of feedback (good and bad!).
We also run an Acton Academy serving grades 1-8.
