ABOUT US

OUR MISSION AND VISION

Our mission is to enrich young minds in a safe, fun, and supportive environment that fosters exploration of challenging educational experiences while having the opportunity to build on life skills and explore their intellectual and leadership abilities.

We have a goal to create more engineers by promoting STEM and providing exposure to and excitement of potential career fields through outreach, education, and hands-on experiences.

HOW WE WORK

IDEAS Lab is run by the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s Research Institute. Under IDEAS Lab, we have created programs like InSPIRESS, EXCITE, DETECTS, and more.
