The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container, transformed into a mobile science lab. It features interactive hands-on science experiments using the latest technology to spark curiosity in the next generation of scientists. The Curiosity Cube program began in North America in 2017 as a platform to increase access to science education for 8-13 year old students. Our experiments are led by local MilliporeSigma employees, giving students an opportunity to learn from real scientists.
