IMAX Educational Movies and Learning Labs

Create. Communicate. Collaborate. Think critically. Take learning to the third dimension with an IMAX Educational Movie paired with a Marbles IMAX Learning Lab. Movies on NC's biggest screen educate and entertain. Learning Labs give students challenge, choice and unique activities connected to NC Standards. Learning Labs fall into five content areas that build on concepts introduced by exclusive movies at Marbles.

Movies are approximately 40 minutes and labs are 45 minutes. Learning Labs are optional, although encouraged to build on movie content.
