DESCRIPTION: For families who dream of less absenteeism in schools!
We are please to announce our partnership with Lysol®, the #1 most trusted and pediatrician-recommended disinfecting brand in the US, to co-design a series of Science Kits for schools as part of their HERE for Healthy Schools initiative. Last year’s co-design sessions were a huge success and many of the ideas invented by the children in these sessions were used in the creations of these kits that were then used by thousands of schools across the country during the 2024-2025 school year. Now, we are, again, bringing together diverse groups of youth with researchers and industry innovators to put learning and wellbeing at the center of product development for these kits to be distributed in schools in the upcoming academic year. Families with children in either first or second grade are invited to apply.
Participation entails one child and their parent joining one workshop focused on co-designing and prototyping a series of science games, activities, and experiments with Lysol® and GIANT design teams. Kids who join will have a chance to learn and practice the art of giving and receiving feedback and then to join a prototyping exercise with industry innovators and researchers on either April 16th or 17th held in person at The GIANT Room in New York City, free of charge for families.
