Xraise, Outreach for the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-Based Sciences and Education

April 1st, 2014 - March 31st, 2019 | PROJECT

Xraise provides experiences that empower individuals by making science familiar and accessible. Immersed with scientists themselves, we facilitate hands-on, minds-on activities that involve the direct exploration of physics phenomena. Our relationship with K12 students, educators and community partners provides us with a platform for exploring personal intuitions, developing understandings and fostering excitement in science.
