We are delighted to have been honoured with a Queen's Anniversary Prize in recognition of our leading distance-learning initiative that has supported tens of thousands of people develop their STEM skills by delivering authentic laboratory experiences online! #QAPrize #remotelabs

A huge thank you to all those who have contributed to making the OpenSTEM Labs an award-winning facility. We are proud to be changing the way scientists and engineers of the future are educated by delivering authentic online laboratory experiences at scale. #STEM #remotelabs

New video coming soon! 📹 Want to find out more about our award winning OpenScience Observatories? We've been filming with Professor Ulrich Kolb and Dr Janet Sumner to tell you all about them! Keep an eye out on our OpenSTEM Labs YouTube playlist! 👀bit.ly/OU_OSL

Are you interested in #astronomy? Our latest video explains how our telescopes are used by The Open University: School of Physical Sciences students to make real-time observations and track exoplanets, their use in tracking satellites and space debris, and even how you can use them for free! youtube.com/watch?v=l-a2Ia…

We were delighted to have the opportunity to show Nichola Tasker how we deliver authentic online laboratory experiences at scale to distance learning students across our #STEM curriculum, in addition to showcasing our Open XR Studios and the Weston Open Living Lab #QEdprizes #remotelabs
