Education Lab on Wheels

Bridging the Education Gap in Our Communities

The Palmetto Palace is thrilled to introduce our forthcoming Education Lab on Wheels, a mobile classroom designed to support students’ academic growth, foster family engagement, and provide critical resources to underserved communities.

What is the Education Lab on Wheels?

The Education Lab on Wheels is a mobile, technology-equipped classroom that brings high-quality educational support directly to students and families in need. This innovative lab is equipped with educational materials, an onboard library, gaming system incentives, and hands-on learning tools. Our mission is to address the learning gap exacerbated by the pandemic and support students’ ongoing development in a dynamic, engaging environment.

Who Will Benefit?

Our initial focus is on elementary and middle school students in South Carolina, particularly in high-need areas. As we expand, we aim to reach high school students as well. The Lab will work in collaboration with schools to deliver after-school programming and educational field trips.

Features of the Lab

  • Family Resource Hub: Offers job readiness skills, financial literacy, parenting resources, and community referrals to empower families.

  • Onboard Library & Gaming System Rewards: A unique approach to inspire learning through both education and play.

  • Weekly Visits for Consistent Support: Returning to the same locations weekly to ensure continuous educational engagement and relationship building.

  • Educational Field Trips and Interactive Learning Tools

  • Incentive Program for Academic Achievement
