Our Science Storytelling Lab leadership team facilitates trusting partnerships between university scientists and student storytellers to provide immersive learning opportunities and fulfill mutual goals of communicating university research to the public in story form. Our interdisciplinary team consists of scientists, storytellers and STEM learning researchers. We employ our original 5-step science-in-action storytelling ™ methodology that has proven effective at increasing STEM learning for students and public trust in science. The captured video data of scientific processes that we use for immersive learning and storytelling is stored and protected in our science storytelling lab.
