Designed to inspire & engage

Xplorlabs is an educational platform designed to encourage students to “solve through science.” It is especially focused on engaging middle-school students during a time in their educational lives when interest in science is shown to decrease dramatically.

Start exploring

Begin by browsing topics from UL Research Institutes that are relevant to your STEM curriculum.

The Science of Thermal Runaway

Engineering Solutions

From hoverboards to cell phones, portable electrical power makes life as we know it possible. But it can come with some dangerous possibilities. Let’s investigate, experiment and search for solutions.

The Science of Extraction to E-Waste

Trade-Offs & the Supply Chain

Safe and sustainable cities will depend on lithium-ion batteries to power our modern lives. But what are the costs?

The Science of Fire Forensics

Claims, Evidence and Reasoning

There’s been a fire. Your students’ job will be to figure out where the fire started, and how.

Resources for educators

In the asset library, key educational resources from each pathway are available for students and educators alike to explore the science of safety.
