LabOOOratorium is a project that innovatively combines the development of education with corporate social responsibility. It enriches activities for children, showing them that learning can be interesting and engaging, while also setting innovative trends in education. For businesses, it provides valuable, systematic knowledge about product reception by demanding users.

The principle of the program is simple: the company donates its products (which must of course have the necessary certifications) to foundation-operated kindergartens and schools. Teachers and educators use them during educational activities and play. All of this follows scenarios that align with the curriculum, but in an innovative, attractive, and creative format.

“For our children, it is an opportunity to be among the first to play and learn using devices or technologies that are not yet widely available. For our business partners, the value lies in the fact that we share professionally developed conclusions, opinions, and suggestions for improvements, sometimes pointing out new, non-obvious applications,” explains Barbara Wiśniewska, project coordinator of LabOOOratorium at the foundation Ogólnopolski Operator Oświaty. “We know the education sector inside out; we run 67 schools and kindergartens across Poland. The benefits of such collaboration are multidimensional—for preschoolers, students, teachers, and the foundation`s partners. In business, this is called a win-win situation. We say: win-win-win.”

The Mechanical Musical Computer Under the Kindergarteners` Microscope


A practical example of LabOOOratorium`s operation is the ongoing tests of the Musicon device in public kindergartens Kropelka and Columbus in Wrocław, Octopus in Gdańsk, and Rozgwiazda in Kowale, developed and produced by the Polish company M sp. z o. o.

This is a mechanical musical computer that children program themselves by simply pressing or squeezing buttons on a large rotating drum. As a result, a melody is created, played like a music box by a randomly composed arrangement of instruments.

The Musicon set consists of the device and scenarios developed during research and development projects for working with children. The goal is to support cognitive, motor, emotional development, as well as ingenuity, creativity, and collaboration among children. Teachers and preschoolers from Kropelka, Columbus, Octopus, and Rozgwiazda will explore how these assumptions work in practice.

“Testing in LabOOOratorium is an opportunity for us to closely examine elements of the entire educational-therapeutic ecosystem. To find out how the device, its additional modules, and sets are actually used,” explains Paulina Kowalik, project coordinator from Musicon. “We also pay a lot of attention to the application, which is constantly evolving. We hope that this experience will help us improve its functionality and enhance its substantive value and attractiveness for children and teachers.”

Innovative Business and Children`s Creativity


The authors of the program from the foundation Ogólnopolski Operator Oświaty emphasize that schools and kindergartens can be places where learning is not just theory but also real-world experience.

“Our LabOOOratorium thoroughly tests, fairly assesses, and issues credible quality certificates. Above all, it enhances the attractiveness of learning in kindergartens and primary schools,” emphasizes Barbara Wiśniewska from the foundation. “This is our proprietary, pioneering CSR project on a national scale. We want to show how education and business can collaborate not only in a philanthropic model but also bring concrete value that goes beyond the traditional model.”

“We have always wanted to know how children use Musicon, how teachers and therapists perceive its application. This has been, and still is, the design of every element of the Musicon set,” explains Kamil Laszuk, CEO of Musicon. “Meeting technical requirements and certifications is very important, but it`s not enough for us. Only programs like LabOOOratorium can prove that what we do is valuable and makes sense.”

LabOOOratorium tests of Musicon will continue until the end of May this year. Their outcome will be a professionally prepared substantive report and, if the product meets high tester requirements, a certificate that the company can use in its communication.

The foundation OOO invites companies interested in improving the quality of education to collaborate within LabOOOratorium and to submit their products for evaluation by the most demanding users.
