About Kitchen Science

Join us every Saturday and Sunday for  Kitchen Science — a hands-on STEM adventure where everyday kitchen ingredients lead to extraordinary discoveries!

Each week, try a new experiment you can easily recreate at home. From fizzy rockets and bubble snakes to density towers and slime, it's a different surprise every time.

Grab a lab coat.
Roll up your sleeves.
Dive into science you can touch, mix, and test.

New experiments weekly. Mess encouraged. Curiosity required.
Perfect for budding scientists of all ages!
