Welcome to JMU X-Labs!
JMU X-Labs is a vibrant hub for cross-disciplinary collaborative innovation. Here professors, students, and external partners unite to solve real-world problems that require different disciplines and perspectives. Everything in X-Labs starts with a problem to solve! Then we use design thinking - a hands-on process focused on understanding needs, brainstorming ideas, and testing solutions - to tackle challenges and find practical solutions. From developing new products to addressing real-world issues, JMU X-Labs empowers teams to create meaningful change. As X-Labs celebrates its 10th anniversary of innovation in 2025, we honor the strong foundation that has brought us this far while boldly stepping into the future with X-Labs 2.0. A great way to learn about this exciting new chapter is by listening to this podcast, Experiential Learning: JMU X-Labs, as a fun and insightful introduction to all things X-Labs 2.0!
We encourage you to explore our website for clear pathways for involvement, check out our upcoming events, and connect with our team. Let's dive into the fun, join the innovation, and create impact at X-Labs.
