Trenton, NJ – NJB News Now writes, “Designed for children between the ages of 6–12, BASF Kids’ Lab teaches students through interactive Q&A, which demonstrates how BASF creates chemistry that affects our daily lives. The Kids’ Lab program is offered to schools in communities where the company operates."
“BASF Kids’ Lab encourages students to explore their interest in chemistry through safe and engaging hands-on experiments,” said Robin Rotenberg, vice president, corporate communications & chief communications officer of North America. “Through our science education efforts and STEM-focused programs, we are supporting the next generation of our workforce.”

BASF outreach for National Chemistry Week included K-8 grade students at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, The London Day School, Washington Elementary School, Parsippany Troy Hills School, Carlstadt Public School, Liberty Science Center and Morris Museum.


“Thanks to BASF’s Kids’ Lab, students at TJ Elementary had the opportunity to experience this special program that would not have been in the budget to deliver. The kids left loving science more than ever before,” said Gabrielle Meyer, Science Specialist at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School in Morristown. “At TJ Elementary, BASF is the rock star celebrity of science.”


​The BASF Kids’ Lab is a global program established in 1997 and is currently available in more than 30 countries worldwide.
