How It All Began

Gwyneth and Sarah met at Harvard a decade ago. Gwyneth studied clinical research; Sarah studied statistics. Both built careers in science — but both also knew that science, at its best, is about more than data and formulas.

Gwyneth's Perspective

Gwyneth is the daughter of an educator and an engineer, and the granddaughter of two math professors. Growing up surrounded by people who loved learning, she always believed that science should be accessible, joyful, and deeply human. When she observed the limitations in hands-on science learning available in Bay Area schools, she knew something had to change.

Sarah's Perspective

Sarah led engineers, designers, and researchers in product development throughout her career. She saw firsthand that engineering transcends formulas — it involves systems thinking, user-centered design, and creative problem-solving. Real engineering is about understanding people, not just building things.

STEM is profoundly human. It requires creativity, empathy, iteration, resilience.

Together, Gwyneth and Sarah began asking a simple but powerful question:

"What does a wholesome, joyful, human future look like for our children?"

That question became the foundation of WonderWorks Lab. Their mission: to bring meaningful, hands-on STEM experiences to young learners — with empathy, wonder, and purpose at the center of everything they do.

We believe the future is bright. And we're here to help the next generation build it — with heart.
