Our Physics Lab refresh could only be where it is at with our science community! Building on our multi-year partnership, brings expertise in culturally-responsive design rooted in the youth experience in the new lab experience. Their community-centered lens, shaped by their work with young people who face systemic barriers in STEM, was invaluable to guide our content development and design so that the lab can help cultivate a feeling of belonging in science.

Learn about how this amazing partnership came to be, and how it shaped the reimagined lab here:https://omsi.edu/articles/a-physics-lab-designed-for-curiosity/
