Welcome to eCLOSE!

We will see you in the eCLOSE Lab

eCLOSE Institute isn't just a place, it's a concept.

eCLOSE participants, scientists, and science teachers link ideas and experiments to drive research forward.  Become a part of a powerful network that provides mentoring, leadership skills, teaching experience, workforce development, and support throughout your STEM career trajectory.

eCLOSE Institute programs are designed to bring the lab to the learners! For our virtual-hybrid sessions, we ship all of the tools and materials needed for participants set-up their own @home lab stations and then the scientific journey begins!

NEW for 2024

eCLOSE Institute opens the lab door for IN-PERSON SUMMER SESSIONS

eCLOSE has developed programs for students and adult learners that engage their inner scientists. Participants learn common laboratory techniques and complete hand’s on activities to guide learning. We put the tools into your hands as you go step-by-step through your own research project. As you work with your virtual lab partners, you will learn the power of collaboration.

eCLOSE Institute works with an amazing model organism: The Fruit Fly! Session participants will learn why this small insect is important in research and how it can be used to address questions about diseases, like cancer. Our camp programs will examine how diet impacts the various stages of fruit fly development and then analyze their very own data! Camp@Home participants will present their data and conclusions, to family, friends, & the eCLOSE community at an end-of-week Zoom event! Camp@Lab will offer live and Zoom options for presentation day!

eCLOSE programs are complimented with the use of LabXchange, micro-lectures, & guest speakers.

All of the eCLOSE programs provide learners with the opportunity. eCLOSE @Home participants keep ALL of the equipment for future use in professional or academic settings. eCLOSE@Lab participants will receive a mini lab box and use real-time lab equipment!
