STEP Lab

The STEP (Solve, Tinker, Explore, and Play) Lab is a space that supports the work of university faculty and students, regional preK-12 teachers and students, and other entities. This work allows individuals to understand the complex nature of STEM concepts to construct new understandings for themselves. Our Preschoolers can see first-hand new technologies like robots, 3D printers, a place where they can build the foundations for STEM and coding skills in this fascinating one-of-a-kind resource.
