This research laboratory has been founded on the premise that multi-sensory science approaches to teaching enhances student learning. This entity is committed to student engagement and the full integration of all students including those with special needs. This research laboratory focuses on the acquisition and testing of hands-on learning tools in all areas of science. Further, the uses of virtual laboratory modules along with haptics interfaces are areas of interest. Through the multi-sensory inputs and outputs of scientific concepts, it is believed this will make science more inclusive for all learners. The MISTER Lab is committed to universal design approaches to teaching science and we are interested in collaborations with other researchers who are equally committed. The use of text-to-speech interfaces for students with blindness or low vision (BLV) is another primary area of interest. We believe hands-on tactile and audio outputs  complements and reinforces science learning for all students.
