CoLab pairs scientists with high schoolers, who, after workshops and lab visits, make art out of research!

This week, Ella and Anna hear from some scientists about their experiences with CoLab. We also hear from the students themselves about how they found diving into the artistic side of science.

Happy International STEMM Day! 🧪🌏
Here’s to the ideas, discoveries, and innovations that keep shaping our world for the better.
