Help with real research

On Sundays, you can connect with emerging science with Living Labs, a partnership between the Museum and early childhood psychology/development researchers at local universities. Guests help our partners with their  research (usually in the form of stories and games). This connects our partners with a larger pool of participants, and our guests with real, ongoing scientific research. Living Labs is part of the Museum’s mission to bridge the scientific and broader communities and create relationships and dialogue between them, while also contributing to current research.
