Introducing the World's first Learn-and-Earn App System for Students, Educators and Professionals
Empowering the Next Generation Through Web3 Professional Education
Lab.io is a free, open-source mobile app (iOS at launch) reimagining vocational education for young people ages 13–25. By combining real-world mentorship with blockchain technology, students apprentice under local professionals in high-demand industries—starting with media production, and expanding into automotive and construction—while earning income and owning what they create.
The Problem We Solve
Too many talented teens and young adults juggle school with low-wage jobs just to afford basics like transportation or a phone. Traditional education often:
Extracts student labor without ownership
Offers limited real-world earning opportunities
Leaves young creators financially vulnerable
Centralized systems frequently misalign incentives. Students do the work; others reap the value.
Lab.io flips that model.
By using the decentralization, transparency, and immutability of blockchain, Lab.io puts power, ownership, and income directly into students’ hands.
How It Works
Apprenticeship with Real Professionals
Students choose a local mentor and learn through hands-on projects—such as:Photography portfolios
Short films
Mobile apps
Automotive repairs
Construction and tiny-home builds
Education Credit
Schools can award academic credit, just like traditional internships.True Ownership via NFTs
Every student project is minted as an NFT that the student fully owns and controls.Three Ways Students Earn
Sell the NFT
Accept donations supporting their education
Get paid for client work (ownership transfers only if agreed)
Smart contracts automate transparent revenue sharing—no middlemen, no delays.
Our Vision
Young people deserve the freedom to pursue their calling without sacrificing financial stability or ownership.
At the same time, industries like media, automotive, and construction urgently need skilled, motivated talent.
Lab.io bridges this gap by enabling local professionals to train the next generation using real tools, real culture, and real work—creating community-rooted, future-proof workforces.
Blockchain safeguards student autonomy: ownership and earnings are immutable, decentralized, and protected from misaligned interests.

Why NFTs & Blockchain?
NFTs provide:
Guaranteed ownership

Immutable proof of credit and achievement
For physical projects (e.g., repaired vehicles or built structures), NFTs represent verified documentation—photos, videos, and records tied to real-world outcomes.
