MilliporeSigma’s Curiosity Cube: Igniting Scientific Passion on the Move”.

MilliporeSigma’s Curiosity Cube is a mobile science lab that provides hands-on STEM education for students. The lab, which was created from a converted shipping container, will be touring the North American region and will make stops in State College and Bellefonte areas. Its goal is to increase access to STEM education and ignite 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. 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 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.
