Hands-on Science Education on Wheels: MilliporeSigma’s Curiosity Cube Tours North America

MilliporeSigma’s Curiosity Cube is a unique mobile science lab that offers hands-on STEM education to students. The lab was created by converting a shipping container and is currently touring the North American region, including stops in the State College and Bellefonte areas. The goal of the Curiosity Cube is to increase access to STEM education and inspire a passion for science among students.

The Curiosity Cube will be open to the public on specific dates at different locations in the State College and Bellefonte areas. In addition, 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 aims 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 hopes 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.
