The Citizen Science Lab

One month in and we're just getting started🧬✨

Huge thanks to Congresswoman Summer Lee for joining us at the ribbon cutting for TCSL's new HQ in the Hill District, and for these powerful words.

Support from leaders like Congresswoman Lee at every level of government helps us expand our reach and stay true to our mission to bring hands on STEM to Pittsburgh (and beyond!), building real pipelines that take youth from curiosity to career.

Alumnus Highlight: William Generett III🎓 🧪

ICE-T grad. Pitt Bio grad. Future Michigan med student. Founder of Equity Health Systems.

William's path started with systems thinking at The Citizen Science Lab's (TCSL) ICE-T project, where early coding experience shaped how he solves complex problems. As Operations Supervisor at East Liberty Family Health Care Center, one of Pittsburgh's largest FQHCs, he saw the operational gaps holding community health centers back. So he built the fix: scheduling and operations tools designed specifically for them.

From code to clinic to company, proud of you, William!👏🧬

The future of STEM just got BRIGHTER!🧬✨

On Juneteenth, The Citizen Science Lab officially opened the doors to our brand new headquarters, the MLK Center of Scientific Excellence, right here in the historic Hill District. To everyone who came out to celebrate with us and to everyone who has believed in and supported our mission over the years, thank you.

Special thanks to for standing with us and celebrating this achievement. And to every sponsor, supporter, volunteer, and staff member behind the scenes, we see you and appreciate you. This one is for the Hill. ✂️🎀

Grateful to for bringing this vision to life, and thank you to for supporting us through the process.

The scientists of tomorrow have a new home, and it's HERE! 🔬🌱

A new chapter for the Hill District begins here! 🌱🔬

We had the pleasure of welcoming our incredible donors to a private tour of The Citizen Science Lab's new home with .afro_. This space represents so much more than a laboratory, it's a promise to our community that STEM opportunities and access are here to stay. A vibrant state-of-the-art STEM laboratory built to inspire, connect, and empower generations of young innovators.

To those who joined us and those who couldn't, your generosity is the foundation of everything we're building. The Hill District has a new anchor, and it wouldn't exist without YOU. We couldn't thank you enough!🙌🧬
