Advancing Child
research
Join in research to learn more about how we all develop.
The Child's Lab is a unique opportunity for local families to work with students and faculty at UW-Green Bay to discover new knowledge about child psychology. We're focused on studying children’s social, cognitive and brain development to solve problems of the future. By learning about children, we can also learn about adults. And our work isn't limited to Green Bay—we've collaborated with researchers across the U.S., Canada and Germany, to determine how culture impacts childhood. As junior scientists, you'll contribute to science and help us understand more about our minds.
Become a REsearcher
Research opportunities are available for both undergraduate and graduate students. Help discover more about children's minds.

"The opportunity to do research in undergrad is so cool and rare; what you understand and how you think will evolve and grow in ways you could not have grasped prior to the experience... my foundation and education participating in research gave me a unique lens to understand children and families who sit with me in session."
