The Couch Potato Lab
The Couch Potato Lab (CPL) are online episodes that cover curriculum-based content in fun and creative ways through experiments, demonstrations and activities!
Follow-Along at Home Learning
The Couch Potato Lab (CPL) is the newest segment brought to you by the EYES team! Social distancing during a pandemic meant no EYES workshops or in-person camps for 2020, but the CPL allowed a virtual love for STEM to grow. The CPL is a set of 58 hour-long YouTube videos that dive into all categories in STEM. Each video covers curriculum-based content in fun and creative ways through experiments, demonstrations, activities, and FAQ segments. Every episode includes at least one “follow-along at home activity” that is covered in step-by-step instructions in a lab manual on the blog.
Make sure to check out these FREE videos on EYES YouTube to explore whichever topic in STEM captivates your own passion!
