Since the program's launch in 2005, an average of 10,000 students have come to our lab each year. To date, more than 150,000 students have experienced the program.
We offer LabVenture at no charge and provide schools from across the state with free transportation. Throughout the school year, our buses travel to every county in Maine bringing excited young scientists to explore the Gulf of Maine at our Portland laboratory.
