- Sourcing Creative Experiment Ideas: Discover where and how to find fresh, engaging ideas for experiments that captivate both kids and adults alike.
- Practicalities of Experiment Kits: Dive into the logistics of sourcing materials, managing finances, and handling the intricacies of shipping and business operations.
- Open Discussion Topics: Have questions or ideas? We’ll leave room for any additional topics that come up, aiming to cover 3-4 main points, with extra topics prepared just in case we have a larger turnout than expected.
