Opportunity Rising: Lab Drawer provides children STEAM educational kits
DETROIT – Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and city leaders today helped to open the city’s 139th brick and mortar Motor City Match business to open in Detroit. The Lab Drawer is an Ed-Tech monthly subscription box full of cross-functional learning experiences for children ages 10-14. Inspired by the look of a chemistry lab drawer, every box includes materials and instructions for a unique STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts & Mathematics) experiment.
The new business, which is located inside the Durfee Innovation Society in the city’s Dexter-Linwood neighborhood, is owned by Dr. Alecia Gabriel and Dierdre Roberson. Lab Drawer was awarded a $50,000 Motor City Match cash grant in the 19th of the program that ultimately aided their efforts in making a difference within the community and in the lives of parents and their children everywhere.
