A Message from the Team

Kicks Lab is an experimental educational experience created by graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center during the Fall 2025 semester. 

Designed to be led by a facilitator, this activity was created to build confidence and encourage curiosity about STEAM subjects outside the traditional curriculum and demystify design and engineering.

The project encourages middle and high-school-age students to understand how design choices affect their everyday lives through something as familiar and varied as footwear. 

Students will be introduced to all the components and materials that go into making functional footwear and will understand how these choices can impact safety and well-being. 

This project would not have been possible without our two renowned external partners.

We hope you enjoy our game!
