LabXchange Honored as Finalist in Two Categories of the 4th Annual Anthem Awards

LabXchange is honored to announce that our platform has been named a Finalist in the "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" and "Responsible Technology" categories of the 4th Annual Anthem Awards.

Anthem Award Winners are selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

LabXchange envisions a world where everyone has equal access to STEM education and career resources. An initiative of Harvard University’s Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning, LabXchange launched in 2020 with support from the Amgen Foundation and provides free, high-quality science learning resources through its interactive online learning platform. Nominated in the Responsible Technology category, LabXchange is the world’s science classroom—a dynamic digital platform that makes high-quality science education accessible to all, for free. Also nominated in the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion category, LabXchange’s Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Science Education (RDEISE) project is a collaborative approach to addressing race, health, and science in the classroom. 

“The Finalists of this year’s Anthem Awards are truly inspiring and I am honored to help elevate their impact,” said Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin. “At this moment, there is a lot of uncertainty in our world, but the tireless and extraordinary efforts of [this year's finalists] provide hope that a better tomorrow is possible. Thank you to everyone doing this work and making an impact.”

“In September, LabXchange celebrated 53 million visitors to our platform since launching in 2020,” said LabXchange Managing Director, Gaurav Vazirani. “We’re thrilled to follow this milestone with our nominations for the 4th Annual Anthem Awards, recognizing not only the reach but also the social impact of our work to expand access to science education for everyone, everywhere.”
