With over 45 years of education experience in the classroom, education publishing, and children and adult learning as well as numerous awards for their work, the founders Isabel Mendiola and Peter Haydock, created Gearbox Labs in 2019 to address an international shortage of STEM professionals.

Each year, Gearbox Labs reaches over 20,000 learners of all ages directly through its in-classroom residencies, Maker Faires, teacher training, one-on-one mentoring, and YouTube videos that are inspiring the next generation of engineers, coders, scientists, and technicians.
