Action Potential Lab is Toronto’s first laboratory dedicated to merging science and art. It is here where the teachings of both fields interact and exchange by way of classes, workshops, birthday parties, lecture series and various community outreach programs. The notion of science and art throughout history has shared a paralleled relationship, but in recent years, there has been a divide. Action
Potential Lab is dedicated to merging the two fields so as to open up news ways of knowing and understanding the world around us. Based on a collaborative learning-teaching model, we view all projects and endeavours with a researcher’s lens. Classes are encouraged to work at the intersect between these two fields. Our laboratory is open to curious people of all ages. The scientific term Action Potential means cell to cell communication. It is that electric moment, the impulse, when a message is being sent down a cell. We see the term Action Potential as having a double meaning; its science meaning and a meaning that refers to activating your potential to do great creative things. At Action Potential Lab, we use our brains. Follow us
