Assistance in Reimagining the Smithsonian Learning Lab

The Smithsonian is seeking information from creative and strategic partners to reimagine its Learning Lab digital platform, with the ambitious goal of reaching every classroom in the nation – approximately 4 million teachers and 49 million PreK-12 students. This Request for Information (RFI) focuses on understanding how to best accomplish this through an iterative product development process anchored by actively listening to educators, particularly those unfamiliar with the Learning Lab. The project scope encompasses identifying and prioritizing functionality for launch and future phases, assessing technical integrations with existing systems, auditing current resources, and establishing key metrics for success. Unique aspects include a strong emphasis on user research to address unmet needs in PK-12 classrooms, understanding student engagement with digital Smithsonian assets, and exploring the potential of AI to align with current teaching practices; all work will need to comply with Smithsonian design, security, and privacy review processes.
