HST Backpack Kits

Curiosity doesn’t sit still—and now, neither does science.

Our Backpack Kits are designed to help kids explore real STEM fields through hands-on discovery, wherever they are. Each kit is built around a specific science career, combining tools, guided activities, and easy-to-follow instructions so kids can jump right in—without parents needing to plan a thing.

Whether you're in the backyard, at the park, or on a weekend trip, everything fits neatly into a grab-and-go backpack—making meaningful science learning simple, flexible, and fun.

See Wonder Up Close.
(With a Microscope)

Some of the most fascinating discoveries are the ones we can’t see with the naked eye. A microscope gives students the chance to explore science the way real scientists do—by observing closely and asking new questions with every slide.

Explore the Science of Our Planet—and Beyond

The story of science stretches from deep beneath our feet to the far reaches of space.

With Earth and space science kits, students can explore rocks and minerals, study weather patterns, and discover how planets, stars, and galaxies shape our universe.

From Wonder to Discovery—It Starts With a Question

Children don’t need more worksheets. They need moments that make them stop and truly discover. Our quiz helps you translate wonder into discovery by matching each child with kits based on:

  • Their curiosity style (asker, builder, explorer)

  • Their energy level (active experimenter vs. focused investigator)

  • Their learning rhythm (visual, hands-on, step-by-step)

  • Their growing STEM interests—from chemistry to space

Instead of guessing, you’ll discover:

  • Which kits match how your child thinks

  • What will keep them engaged past day one
