About the Physics Lab Exchange
The Physics Lab Exchange supports university lab instructors in designing labs that emphasize experimental physics techniques, skills, and authentic research methodologies.
Our platform provides classroom-ready teaching tools and connects instructors with peers and education leaders to create experimentation-focused, research-inspired labs.
Through workshops, mentoring programs, and shared resources, we help physics departments transform their introductory lab courses into powerful learning experiences.
