The mobile science lab is currently in SA as part of its Africa tour, which kicked off on Tuesday.
The Curiosity Cube , a mobile science lab , is touring southern Africa, providing students with interactive STEM experiences and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
Running from June to November, this mobile science lab aims to make STEM learning fun and accessible, sparking curiosity in students and showcasing hands-on science. Powered by Merck and supported by local universities, the initiative seeks to inspire interest in STEM careers and break down barriers to science education. This marks the Curiosity Cube's first tour across southern Africa.
Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container that was transformed into a lab. From 10-27 June, it will be available to students from Meadowlands, in Soweto, giving them the opportunity to become scientists for the day. They will work alongside Merck employees and volunteers from the University of South Africa.
Since 2017, Curiosity Cube has visited 300 communities, engaging 1 500 employees to reach more than 1 155 000 students. Each year, the cube has a new theme, featuring different interactive science experiments that leverage the latest technology.
