在当今日益科技化的社会，精通科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)技能的劳动力是必不可少的。研究表明，K-12年级的学生积极参与使用真实科学工具的动手科学活动，可以促进学生的学习和保持。移动实验室项目在全美和世界各地的学校和社区提供这种类型的学习。许多项目都是移动实验室联盟(MLC)的成员，这是一个非营利性组织，由建立在科学家和教育工作者合作基础上的移动和其他基于实验室的教育项目组成。最近对会员项目的一项调查显示，它们提供了令人印象深刻的各种节目，总共为全美120多万名学生提供了服务。
In today’s increasingly technological society, a workforce proficient in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills is essential. Research has shown that active engagement by K–12 students in hands-on science activities that use authentic science tools promotes student learning and retention. Mobile laboratory programs provide this type of learning in schools and communities across the United States and internationally. Many programs are members of the Mobile Lab Coalition (MLC), a nonprofit organization of mobile and other laboratory-based education programs built on scientist and educator collaborations. A recent survey of the member programs revealed that they provide an impressive variety of programming and have collectively served over 1.2 million students across the US.
