Learning Lab Design
We design guided Learning Labs around real-world challenges: learners investigate, build a response and explain what they understood.
Education design studio for schools and organisations
Primary Project Labs partners with schools and organisations to design CAPS-rooted Learning Labs and practical learning systems that develop capable, curious learners.
What we do
PPL helps schools, centres and education organisations turn curriculum ideas, themes and programme goals into guided project-based learning experiences.
We design guided Learning Labs around real-world challenges: learners investigate, build a response and explain what they understood.
No two organisations want the same thing. Tell us the theme, industry or skill you're building toward, and we design a Lab around it, not a generic template with your logo added.
Beyond a single Lab, we help schools rethink how project work fits into the whole year: what gets planned when, and how it actually reaches the classroom.
For longer relationships, we work inside your calendar and capacity instead of handing over a plan and leaving. What we design is built to survive contact with a real term.
See the work
Eco-Base is a published Discovery Lab that shows how PPL turns one question into a guided investigation, a tested model and an explanation learners can give in their own words.
The guide excerpt shows learning outcomes, how the sessions run, grouping options and assessment guidance. A school partnership is designed around the school's own context.

Our experience
Working across different education systems provided insight into how learners engage, how schools operate and how meaningful learning experiences can be designed across cultures.
PPL brings that experience into practical, school-ready learning design: clear structures, credible learning outcomes and project work that learners can explain.
How we work
The public PPL rhythm is simple enough to guide learners and rigorous enough to shape programme design.
Understand the learning goals, context, learners and challenges.
Research, investigate and design the learning pathway.
Create the Learning Lab, system, resources and implementation plan.
Evaluate outcomes and improve future learning experiences.
Partnership opportunities
PPL can support existing academic programmes, enrichment routes, youth initiatives and international education projects.
Custom Lab design
We can design a Learning Lab around your requirements.
A school might want a Lab on ocean conservation, robotics, sustainability, entrepreneurship, cultural studies or creative arts. PPL shapes the brief into a guided learning experience with structure, learner output and reflection built in.

Tell us about your school, organisation, learner group or programme goal. PPL will help you identify whether a standard Learning Lab route, a custom Lab or a broader learning design partnership is the right fit.
