every kid is a scientist.
Kids are naturally curious. They ask questions. They investigate. They experiment. And then, somewhere along the way, they stop. We want to keep that curiosity alive, to keep them asking questions and looking for answers, and to help them understand the world around them. By offering opportunities to explore science topics in new ways, we hope to offer a lifelong love and understanding of science.
