Participate in-person
Our research would not be possible without the help of parents, schools and the community.
You can come to us, or we can come to you. Studies take place in our playful lab on the UT campus, and in childcare centers, schools, and other locations around Austin.
Studies are designed to be short, fun games and kids choose a prize from the lab treasure chest after completing their study!
While in-person research is suspended at UT, kids can still participate in our research online.
Find out more about what to expect when participating in research at our lab.
