Welcome to Pop-Up Labs for STEAM
Pop-Up Labs for STEAM (PULS) operates a mobile science lab that pops up at schools, youth organizations, and public areas to provide action-oriented enrichment opportunities in sustainable learning by demonstrating a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts+design, and mathematics) approach to students across O'ahu.
