Connecting Research, Learning, and Community

The Imaginarium: Creativity & STEAM Discovery Center is an interdisciplinary informal learning environment at Mississippi State University co-founded and co-directed by Dr. Garemani and Dr. Sareh Karami. It provides guided, hands-on STEAM experiences for K–8 students while supporting research, university teaching, student mentoring, curriculum development, and collaboration with schools and community organizations.

The Imaginarium is an important research and training environment for the UPSHOTs Lab, particularly for projects involving informal STEM learning, creativity, collaborative engagement, design thinking, and talent development. The two initiatives are closely connected but distinct: the UPSHOTs Lab is Dr. Garemani’s research group, while the Imaginarium is a broader interdisciplinary center serving university and community audiences.
