4.7: National Lab Day

Participate in National Lab Day

Other Information:

The Department of Energy and its 17 national laboratories will be participating in the inaugural National Lab Day on May 12, 2010. In November 2009, President Obama announced this initiative as part of the Educate to Innovate campaign, a nationwide effort to foster student excellence in science and math. National Lab Day is a collaborative effort between government agencies and grassroots organizations to upgrade science labs, support project-based learning, and build communities of support for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teachers. The National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy are working with professional societies and foundations to connect Federal experts and scientists with teachers and local schools.
