Magic School Box™
Students regulate first. Then they create.
A two-environment learning system designed to prepare attention
before instruction begins.
Reset Lab → Maker's Studio
A Two-Environment Learning System.
Two environments. One learning progression. Students enter overstimulated from the everyday classroom. The Reset Lab helps their body slow down first so attention, behavior, and learning can follow. Once ready, students move into the Maker's Studio—a professional-grade environment for hands-on career tech exploration and skill building. The sequence builds the foundation that allows advanced learning environments to actually work.
RESET LAB - 38' Expandable Environment
A calming, biophilic space with natural materials, multisensory zones, and ambient controls. Students settle attention and reduce cognitive noise before engagement begins.
What students experience:
Plant walls and natural textures. Journaling and reflection areas. Adjustable lighting and ambient sound. Multisensory zones supporting all learners
Student language: "This is where I get ready to learn."
District language: A regulation and readiness environment addressing social-emotional learning alongside academic preparation.
MAKER'S STUDIO - 53' Expandable Environment
Professional-grade environment for hands-on making, technology skill development, and career exploration.
What students experience:
Esports and competitive gaming stations. Digital fabrication and 3D printing. Drone operation and coding workstations. Robotics and media production zones. Modular furniture and writable walls.
Student language: "This is where I make things for real."
District language: Career-aligned technology and skill development in a professional operational environment.
Connected Deployment
When deployed together, Reset Lab → Maker's Studio creates a complete learning progression. Trailers can connect via inflatable tunnel for showcases or intensive programs.
Independent Deployment
Each trailer functions as a complete, self-contained experience, allowing flexible scheduling across multiple campuses. Districts deploy capacity where students actually need it not where forecasts predict.
Recognition
Magic School Box™ received the 2024 Bronze A’ Design Award in the Education, Teaching Aid & Training Content Design category. The award recognizes the project’s spatial design approach to deployable learning environments. International design recognition provides independent validation of the system’s architectural and functional design.The system was developed through collaboration with large urban districts evaluating alternatives to permanent expansion cycles.
Both trailers built on expandable trailer platforms: Full HVAC and electrical infrastructure. ADA-compliant accessibility. Code-compliant fire safety systems. Professional-grade finishes and durability.
Reset Lab (38'): 12–18 students
Maker's Studio (53'): 24–32 students
Combined system supports full classroom rotations or independent campus deployments
Why districts choose deployable learning infrastructure
ENROLLMENT VOLATILITY
Traditional expansion fixes capacity to a site for decades. Deployable infrastructure allows capacity to move with enrollment shifts.
PROGRAM TESTING
Districts can introduce new programs, evaluate them in operation, and scale only what proves necessary.
TIMELINE
Deployable systems operate within months. Permanent construction requires multi-year bond cycles.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY
Owned infrastructure that can relocate and redeploy across campuses as needs change.
Guesscreative designs deployable learning infrastructure that adapts to changing district needs without permanent construction. Magic School Box™ represents over seven years of development, refined through collaboration with large urban districts and recognized with the 2024 A' Design Award.
