The Tech Exploration Lab is a cross-campus launchpad where students turn emerging technologies into real-world solutions. Led by the Wisconsin School of Business, the Lab gives multidisciplinary students hands-on experience with applied AI and frontier technologies while tackling real business and societal challenges.
Your gift directly fuels student innovation — supporting venture programs, industry-defined projects, build nights, hackathons, and the tools students need to move ideas into action.
By donating, you help prepare the next generation of technology leaders, founders, and problem-solvers at UW–Madison.
If you wish to make a donation to the Lab, you can make a gift online (make sure to specify the Tech Exploration Lab Fund – 112170239) .
You can also set a time to discuss gifting options by contacting Caitlin Gates, Managing Sr. Director with the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association, or Sandra Bradley, Executive Director of the Lab.
