About Do-Lab

Practical learning that changes classrooms

Do-Lab was founded by Petra van Bemmel, an education specialist with a passion for making learning accessible and meaningful for every child. Since 2015, Do-Lab has grown from a single classroom initiative to a method used in over 70 schools across the Netherlands — and is now expanding internationally, with a new base in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
