About Us

For the community: From in-school visits and demos, to creating digital content to follow up Science Cafe visits, to setting up mentorships. We are the gateway for our young students’ pathways to science.

 

For graduate, professional, and undergraduate students: Open Labs’s vision is to make distinctive, lasting, and substantial growth in the life of young scholars and the community. To do so, we’re on a mission to attract, excite, and develop passionate and exceptional people on our team. Our values-driven team is a resource for you and our resources and abilities are the gateway to realizing YOUR ideas on how to make distinctive, lasting, and substantial growth in the life of young scholar and the community.
