The Discovery Lab Initiative seeks to partner colleges and universities with leading technology companies to develop new curricula emphasizing hands-on experiential learning. By introducing industry-standard research instruments, students are inspired to "take theory into practice," thereby better training themselves to be successful in the next stage of their scientific careers. • Increasing career potentials through more robust science education. • Enhancing curricula by providing hands-on instrumentation. • Accelerating the development of future scientists, leading to research and technological innovation.
