Experience. Explore. Evolve.

MCLS idea labs offer a space where we can connect Martin County residents to:

  • New and emerging technology
  • Learning opportunities
  • Each other

Our labs are spaces to learn, create, and connect through exploration, hands-on learning, computer classes, and programs.
