MilliporeSigma’s Curiosity Cube is a mobile science lab that aims to increase access to STEM education and ignite a passion for science among students. Converted from a shipping container, the lab is currently touring the North American region and will be making stops in the State College and Bellefonte areas.
The Curiosity Cube will be open to the public on specific dates at different locations in the State College and Bellefonte areas. Additionally, there will be school-only events in nearby school districts to engage students in interactive experiments led by MilliporeSigma scientists. These experiments involve the use of modular electronics, digital microscopes, and other scientific tools to teach students about sustainability.
Through the Curiosity Cube, MilliporeSigma hopes to show students that science is all around them and to inspire them to pursue careers in STEM fields. By providing a hands-on learning experience and sparking scientific curiosity, the company aims to pave the way for innovative breakthroughs in the future. MilliporeSigma, the North American life science business of Merck, has a facility in Bellefonte and is dedicated to promoting STEM education through initiatives like the Curiosity Cube.
