About Inspired Mind Lab

Inspired Mind Lab delivers hands-on STEAMM workshops for children aged 6 to 14. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics and Medicine through engaging, practical learning experiences close to home.

We start local and build from there. Our founding team are proud Clarence locals, based in Howrah and Bellerive, and we are driven by a simple belief: that where a child grows up should never decide whether they get to discover what they are capable of.

That belief shapes everything we do, from the communities we work with to the way we run every session.

Vision

Different starts, same opportunity

To create a Tasmania where every child has an opportunity to discover their potential through STEAMM education, regardless of postcode or background.

Mission

To inspire curiosity, build confidence, and create pathways into the careers of tomorrow by making STEAMM education accessible, relevant, and exciting for every young Tasmanian.
