About InquiryEd Labs
InquiryEd Labs is an education consulting and innovation firm dedicated to helping schools design strong, sustainable STEM learning environments that move beyond isolated programs and toward system-wide impact.
Founded by Dr. Latasha Turner, InquiryEd Labs partners with schools and districts that are ready to strengthen inquiry-based instruction, build coherent STEM systems, and pursue state STEM designation with clarity and purpose. Our work supports leaders in transforming STEM from a standalone initiative into a schoolwide culture that elevates teaching, learning, and student opportunity.
Every student deserves access to meaningful, high-quality learning experiences — yet too often, innovative STEM opportunities remain limited to a small number of schools or student populations.
Dr. Turner founded InquiryEd Labs after witnessing firsthand how inquiry-driven STEM learning can dramatically expand student engagement, problem-solving skills, and academic confidence — especially for historically underserved students. This work is rooted in a belief that when schools intentionally design systems that prioritize opportunity to learn, curiosity becomes more than a buzzword — it becomes a pathway to equity and excellence.
Our Why
We partner with:
Public school districts
STEM and STEAM schools
Charter networks
Microschools and innovation programs
School leadership teams
Our primary focus is supporting schools committed to expanding access to high-quality STEM learning and creating equitable instructional opportunities for all students.
Who We Serve
Our Approach
At InquiryEd Labs, we believe meaningful change happens when schools build systems — not just programs.
Our approach is grounded in:
Inquiry-based and project-based learning
Instructional coherence and alignment
Leadership capacity building
Data-informed implementation
Equity-centered design
We focus on practical tools, sustainable structures, and leadership development that support long-term impact.
InquiryEd Labs specializes in supporting schools that want to:
Build or strengthen STEM instructional programs
Prepare for state STEM designation or redesignation
Improve Tier 1 instruction through inquiry-based practices
Align leadership systems to instructional priorities
Develop sustainable implementation structures
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we work alongside school leaders to design customized roadmaps that connect vision to action and strategy to classroom practice.
