Abstract
This paper provides the specification for the design of an innovative mobile mathematics creativity laboratory for contemporary adolescent and adult learners. The design is based on a broad collection of philosophical principles taken from educational research. Each principle is described in turn. The practical implementation of these principles with hardware and software within a laboratory is described. Finally, the proposed laboratory activity design is discussed and compared with the design of serious games.
