The practical side of the curriculum happens here. Students run experiments, investigate and build, and a lot of that work ends up inside their Capstone projects.
Biology lab
Biology is a four-credit honors course. This lab is where the practical work happens, from microscope sessions to experiments that can feed into a Capstone project.
Physics lab
Physics carries four credits as an honors course. Students test what they learn in class here, and the experiments can feed into their Capstone projects.
Math and Mechanics lab
Mathematics and Mechanics share this lab, and each is a three-credit honors course. Students work with motion sensors, photogates, a force table and cart-and-track setups, and what they measure here can feed into Capstone projects.
Chemistry lab
Chemistry is also a four-credit honors course. Practical work happens here, and it can support the research students do for their Capstone projects.
Geology lab
Geology is a four-credit honors course too. Students investigate Earth science here, and the work can feed into their Capstone projects.
FabLab
The FabLab is an open makerspace with digital fabrication and prototyping machines, including a laser cutter, a 3D printer and a ShopBot. Every student is trained on the machines by the lab manager, follows an MIT-based curriculum, and builds Capstone prototypes here.
