The Class of 2024 Legacy Gift unlocked new possibilities for the ChangeMaker Lab by establishing a foundational endowment to support its growth and impact. This space empowers students to learn, create, and solve real-world problems, preparing them to address the challenges of today and tomorrow. Thanks to the collective generosity of the Class of 2024, the ChangeMaker Lab endowment launched with $270,283.
Looking ahead, this endowment ensures the Lab will continue to inspire innovation across all grade levels by funding cutting-edge STEM curriculum, bringing in guest experts, expanding real-world learning opportunities, and providing the tools and technology needed to keep the Lab at the forefront of creative exploration.
Thank you to the Legacy Gift Committee for their commitment to envisioning a creative future in the ChangeMaker Lab: Elana and Dan Weinberg, Committee Chairs

By nurturing inquiry-based innovation, we can ensure Live Oak continues to graduate changemakers who see endless possibilities,” reflect Dan and Elana Weinberg P’24, ‘26. “This is why we were excited to lead this effort—to ensure future generations of students have the tools and opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the world.”
