We typically study children’s learning by conducting one-on-one sessions during which children play games, learn lessons, and complete assorted activities. At the end of the session, children receive a small gift for participating. We certainly could not do our research without willing children and parents! If you would like your child to participate, please email or call the Lead Lab or Emily Fyfe.

You can also fill out the Child Scientist Form. We look forward to speaking with you and making the experience easy and fun!
