The Curiosity Cube, created by MilliporeSigma, is a mobile science lab that brings STEM education to students through interactive experiments and hands-on learning. Currently touring the North American region, the lab will be stopping in 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.

MilliporeSigma’s mobile science lab was created by converting a shipping container into a unique and innovative space for hands-on learning. The lab 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 modular electronics, digital microscopes, and other scientific tools to teach students about sustainability.

The Curiosity Cube aims to show students that science is all around them and 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.
