The Colorado State University Extension (CSUE) 4-H Mobile Environmental Sciences Lab is a transportable educational resource equipped with projects, activities and materials intended to promote Colorado after-school programming through experiential learning opportunities in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This lab has an emphasis on environmental sciences and natural resources management awareness.

The equipment within the CSUE 4-H Mobile Environmental Sciences Lab can be utilized for indoor learning opportunities. However, the lab is also equipped with everything needed to set up an outdoor self-contained pop-up 4-H STEM learning space. This feature makes all the CSUE 4-H STEM labs an excellent addition for school fairs, day camps and educational festivals.

The CSUE Mobile 4-H Environmental Sciences Lab is equipped with both solar and gas generated energy capabilities which allows for alternative power generation while in use.  This Lab can also be plugged into a 120 Volt outlet of a nearby power source.
