Vision and mission
Experimenticum builds innovation capital in communities.
Experimenticum turns experimentation into a shared habit in education and civic ecosystem, so schools and communities can meet complexity with competence instead of dependency. We empower with the 21st century skills, intrinsic motivation and inspire for a love for life-long learning.
We build a visible “playground for curiosity” and a curated lab for innovation, participation, and resilience through Challenge Labs, Citizen Solution Sprints, and professional learning that makes test cycles repeatable.
Community members of all ages grow agency and scientific thinking, schools shift practice through inquiry facilitation, and municipalities move from consultation to pilots that can be evaluated and improved.
We act as a lighthouse for a new humane learning paradigm, real-world connection and inspire the education system and help them transform.

Built upon a unique learning experience design and the latest scientific advancements in education, Exploratorium Lab builds capacity to thrive in the unknown future and to co-create positive societal impact.
What fuels a community’s success tomorrow?

CURIOSITY
Curiosity as a civic enginge: We turn questions into “doable experiments” with prompts, materials, time-boxed cycles, and public sharing so curiosity becomes a practiced habit, not a personality trait.
So communities keep discovering options when reality changes faster than plans.

PROBLEM SOLVING
Try, test, learn: We teach repeatable problem-framing + prototype testing in the real world, with fail-forward and “safe-to-fail” boundaries and reflection that turns mistakes into data.
So people stop waiting for perfect solutions and develop courage to try and fail forward and start improving through small, measurable pilots.

COLLABORATION
Collaboration across diversity: We run structured co-design formats (roles, facilitation norms, negotiation tools, conflict navigation) that let different ages, cultures, and sectors build together.
So diverse groups can act together without polarization blocking progress.

LIFELONG LEARNING
Lifelong learning & renewing: We make learning a joyful, shared habit, so people keep exploring, updating skills, and reinventing themselves as the world changes. So the community’s most precious human capital stays adaptable, creative, and future-ready to thrive in tomorrow’s fast-changing world.

DEEP THINKING
Evidence-based, deep thinking: We build the habit of asking “What would count as evidence?”, checking sources and assumptions, test hypotheses and revising views when reality disagrees. So decisions become wiser and less reactive, guided by truth, evidence and what’s workable.

BEING HUMAN
We integrate attention practices, ethnographic observation, user stories, and empathy interviews so solutions start with lived experience and human dignity. So innovation serves people, not systems, and trust becomes the real infrastructure.
Why partner with us

Support the next Gen of innovators in your community
Experimenticum turns good intentions into repeatable practice: teams run real test cycles, learn fast, and improve what they do in the real world. You don’t just sponsor workshops, you help build a local capability engine that keeps working long after the pilot.

Activate local agents of change
Students and educators craft powerful public narratives (Self–Us–Now) and co-design media and prototypes with local organizations. The result is authentic participation, visible contributions, and young people stepping into leadership roles on issues that matter right here, right now.

Get measurable outcomes plus the “surprising impact” you’d otherwise miss
We track behavior change, multiplier effects, and adoption, not just attendance. And we intentionally look for unexpected outcomes through short interviews, so partners can iterate intelligently and invest where impact is truly happening.
Investing in innovation capital is one of the highest-leverage uses of philanthropy because it upgrades how a community solves all future challenges, not just the one in front of it.
Never stop experimenting.
FAQ
What age group is Experimenticum for?
Experimenting is important for every age group! Our challenges are designed for ages 3 – 99. Other ages on request.
Do I need to be good at science?
You don’t need a background in science. The only condition: you bring curiosity.
You can choose your levels: starting as an explorer to becoming an impact creator.
When does the 1st pilot start?
We re starting the pilot on learning design in Feb. 2026.
