The Los Angeles Behavioral Economics Laboratory (LABEL) is a research center dedicated to experimental research on economic decision-making. Please visit its website to learn about our research.
The Little Experimentalists Program is offered at schools who partner with LABEL to study Developmental Behavioral Economics. Led by USC experts, the program provides hands on research activities and classes tailored to your school's needs. We focus on the advancement of STEM fields among school students.
As a part of the program, we offer internships to highly motivated high school students. Students are involved in research activities of the laboratory and learn about decision-making research, programming and statistics. The program is designed to help students prepare for college.
We also run different kinds of programs for children from elementary school to high school:
Classes on Game Theory, Statistics, Philosophy of Science, Probability Theory and Algorithms
Math Kangaroo for elementary children
Field Trips to LABEL, USC
and information sessions for the school community at large
Seminars for Teachers and Parents
College Preparation
