Our Vision

Space for anyone to create, dream and explore with science.

Our Mission

SoundBio Lab welcomes everyone to explore and grow their passion for science. We provide space, tools and community to foster original research projects alongside hands-on STEAM education in our biomakerspace and the greater Seattle area.

Our Values

The following values guide the actions and relationships of the SoundBio Lab community, including all volunteers and staff.

Community 

We support and are comprised of a diverse and inclusive community. We approach all tasks with a spirit of collaboration and volunteerism, and we recognize the mutual benefit of mentoring and peer-learning. 

Integrity 

We take our social and ethical responsibilities seriously to ensure the safety of those in and around our lab, be good environmental stewards and work with transparency and honesty. 

Equity 

We work in opposition to systems of marginalization and oppression that exclude people from STEAM, collaborating with partners to provide equitable access to hands-on science resources and community. 

Creativity 

We see artistic expression and tinkering as valuable practices that open up creative ways of thinking about and doing science. 

Innovation 

We practice DIY (Do-It-Yourself) culture! We use the resources at our disposal to push boundaries, make new discoveries, and innovate. Everyone at SoundBio Lab should support a culture of encouragement, growth, and a willingness to learn from failure.
