Vision Statement of MobileLab Coalition
The escalating importance of science and technology to the prosperity of American society demands an educated populace able to meet pressing science career needs, ensure national economic development, and improve human health. The Mobile Laboratory Coalition is a partnership of traveling laboratory programs, institutions of higher education, and K-12 schools and school systems, built upon scientist and educator collaborations that will address the nation's science education challenge by providing equity of access to authentic hands-on, inquiry-based, contemporary science education for K-12 students, educators, and the community. Providing equal opportunities for ALL populations will ensure that those who have been historically disadvantaged and underserved will finally gain access to the science and technology workforce.
- Develop and disseminate a national network of mobile science laboratory programs with a common vision and shared curriculum to inspire an appreciation and knowledge of science and scientific inquiry.
- Provide equal opportunities in science education for ALL students and teachers consistent with state and national standards.
- Assist and advise developing mobile laboratory programs.
