A fully equipped science laboratory, staffed by PhD-level scientists. Available for students to explore, be curious, experiment, get inspired and work with a variety of organisms, materials, chemicals and techniques.

We are dedicated to bridging the divide between art, design and science by providing guidance on projects and ideas in the scientific realm.

In the lab students are exposed to scientific principles, experimental design and the profound sense of wonder that comes from studying the natural world. Projects could involve growing microrganisms like bacteria, algae and plants, chemical processes, discussions of scientific methods and phenomena related to the natural world.
