SoundBio Lab

Mission

SoundBio Lab welcomes everyone to explore and grow their passion for science. We provide space, tools and community to foster original research projects alongside hands-on STEAM education in our biomakerspace and the greater Seattle area.

Description

We support learners and innovators of all ages get hands-on with science, build confidence and achieve their goals. 

Our expert volunteers run programs in our University District lab space, and also go out to work at schools in our region. We keep fees low to non-existent, and we prioritize access for those who have least access to traditional STEM institutions and enrichment opportunities.

We organize projects, workshops, and science events embracing hands-on learning as our motto. These activities span beginner concepts in microscopy to practicing molecular biology techniques such as DNA isolation, PCR, and restriction enzyme digests.

Our costs are incredibly low thanks to the generous donations of equipment and supplies that keep our lab running. But we need to pay rent and we need to support our one amazing staff member who keeps our lab space safe and well managed, making all of our programs possible. 

Can you work with us so that everyone can build their confidence and pursue their goals in science?

If we can raise $4200 by the end of the year then we can fully fund:

 - K-8 science outreach events reaching an estimated 300 students across our region in 2024. 

- Hands on lab skills workshops every month that will serve an estimated 150 students age 12 and above at our lab space over the course of 2024.

And if financial support does not work for you then we do have open volunteer positions and we would love to work with you - www.sound.bio/volunteer
