Programs

Four programs across schools, weekends, and the In3 incubator.

Luma Lab's programs are organized around a single principle: embed tech instruction directly inside schools and community organizations rather than asking students to come to us. Below is the current program slate.

Middle & high school

School Partnerships

Year-round embedded mentoring and tech curriculum across four schools in the DC area. We work alongside teachers and administrators rather than parachuting in for one-off events — every partnership is structured as a multi-semester relationship.

Where it runs

  • Howard University Middle School of Mathematics and Science
  • Kraemer Middle School
  • KIPP Will Academy
  • Washington School for Girls

All ages — open enrollment

Saturday Workshops

An open coding, hardware, and entrepreneurship workshop series running on Saturdays at Georgetown Day School (April series). Open enrollment — designed so students who don't have access to tech programs through their primary school can join. Run with support from the TDF Foundation.

  • Georgetown Day School (host venue)
