Who is MadLabs? My love of learning was a gift given to me at an early age. My father, a talented research scientist, would often pose questions to me, and suggest ways in which I might find the answer. He had a way with questions that always made them interesting and finding the answer satisfying. And when I was having trouble finding the answers, he could always suggest another line of research and guide me to the answer. From a very young age, he had me exploring many aspects of the world around me. These explorations didn't just instill a love of learning. By hands on experimenting I gained experience in using tools, and how things really work. This in turn empowered me in many ways. I could pose questions and design experiments to answer them. I could build things that I wanted. I could make nifty devices that amazed my friends and family! It gave me confidence and the belief that if I could think it, I could do it. This background set in motion a lifelong pattern of observation, inquiry and experimentation that continues to this day. These childhood experiences are my guidelines when developing Mad Labs material. Most of the equipment used is simply constructed out of common items to show students that they can accomplish quality experiments and projects on their own. So much science today seems to be the realm of large laboratories and people in white coats. Not so! The goal of Mad Labs is to bring the wonder of self-discovery to students.
