A Teaching Tool

From recreating the night sky, to recreating scenes from antiquity, our faculty are constantly finding ways to incorporate the lab into their innovative syllabi.

Students Create Content

Understanding that teaching is often the best way to learn, our students get involved in the lab developing new shows and materials. Their work includes 3D modeling, script writing, and even the composition of music.
