Service Description
[In-Person] The Curiosity Lab: Finding Fun in Science by Ashley Miller on Wednesday evenings, 6:00-8:00 pm CST from 10/21/26-12/02/26 (skipping 11/25 for Thanksgiving), meeting in person on UT San Antonio campus Have you ever wondered how crystals grow, how tiny living things survive, or what micro-organisms look under a microscope? In The Curiosity Lab, students investigate the amazing world around them and find out why things work the way they do through exciting, hands-on experiments. Students will grow colorful crystals and build simple electrical circuits, unravel the mysteries of “miniature” life by investigating microscopic lifeforms, and even extract DNA from their favorite fruits! Every class, students will learn a new scientific skill, make observations, ask questions, test ideas, and think like real scientists. In The Curiosity Lab, we solve problems and uncover the science behind everyday phenomena. This course offers a fun, interactive environment where we make science exciting for creative and curious minds.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
