Science is not a performance. It’s a relationship. The Innovation Lab brings authentic, community-driven science experiences directly to the places and people they to matter most.
The Innovation Lab is a mobile engagement studio designed to meet communities where they are, not where institutions wish they were. We create hands-on science experiences that prioritize local voices, real-world problems, and lasting relationships—not just brand awareness.
Our model is rooted in civic science values: trust over timeline, collaboration over control, curiosity over credentials. Every activation is custom-built to reflect the needs, interests, and strengths of the people we serve.

The Innovation Mobile Lab name, brand, and community engagement programs featured on this site were independently created and operated by Weeno Ridge LLC. While a vehicle used in some program deliveries was provided through a donation to another nonprofit, all intellectual property, branding, curriculum, and partnerships reflected here were designed, delivered, and managed exclusively by Weeno Ridge.
The visual identity of the Innovation Mobile Lab, including the original logo and exterior wrap design, was created by United Way of Franklin County and is used with acknowledgment of their foundational support. Weeno Ridge continues to steward the Innovation Lab identity in alignment with its original public purpose: equitable, place-based science experiences that build lasting trust and civic insight.
