Science they can take anywhere!
Each Backpack Kit delivers guided, fun science experiences students can take with them. Filled with durable tools and thoughtfully designed activities, these kits help kids build foundational science skills
through real investigation. Whether used in classrooms, after-school programs, or at home, they offer a meaningful way to engage with science authentically, encourage inquiry, and grow as learners.
What Are Backpack Science Kits?
(HINT—they’re career adventures in a backpack.)
Each Backpack Science Kit is designed to help kids ages 8–10 explore a real STEM career through hands-on experiments and activities. Packed in a sturdy, portable backpack, each kit comes with:
8–10 guided activities designed by science educators
Authentic tools and materials (not just toys!)
Career connection cards that explain how each activity links to real science jobs
A durable, zippered backpack to carry gear on-the-go
A printed instruction guide with illustrations so kids can work independently or with minimal help
These kits are a great supplement to homeschool, a fun gift for science-loving kids, or a screen-free activity you can feel good about.
No prep. No screens. Just real science made fun.
