Kids are curious. It is our responsibility at Kids Science Labs to engage them and help their discovery

Wondering why can change the World. We believe this is true for scientists ages 2 to 100 yrs old, and our teaching faculty are passionate about inspiring kids of all ages to learn through the most engaging hands-on science and STEAM program available in the U.S.

Every class that we design at Kids Science Labs begins with a fundamental question that is asked by kids everyday, and then hands-on science is used as a vehicle for engaging, discovering, and learning through actual experience, not just explanation. 

Kids Science Labs offers classes in creativity, problem solving, and hands-on science to PreK-8th Grade

Let's face it, technology is taking the world by storm, and it is firmly grounded in science and creative design thinking.  Our kids need more opportunities to learn and love science and more importantly they need to be able to tackle challenging problems with creativity and confidence.  Much has been said about the need for more STEM and STEAM programs.  The supporting argument is strong: the wave of future economic prosperity lies in a workforce that is well-versed in rising job markets like science, technology, engineering and math.

At KSL, we love problem solving, critical thinking, and creative design - so we offer year-round programming options. Kids are curious and they want to be engaged in understanding how things work and need an inspired environment to learn and develop the things that they are curious about. We are the leader in hands-on science and creative thinking, core skills for your children to succeed in a complex world.

Kids Science Labs offers the most mad science of northern Illinois available for kids

KSL boosts kids academic performance with mad science experiments twelve months a year

Kids are curious and its our opportunity to engage them and help their discovery. Whether they are opening jars of liquids, breaking their toys by “accident” or asking endless questions, a science experiment awaits to tickle their curiosity at Kids Science Labs. Some experiments are curious, and others offer mad science explosions that get kids excited about learning more and building confidence with science fats.

KSL has a mad science lab that is full of weekly programs to inspire and unlock the curiosity in kids using the most engaging Powerscience curriculum.

Our mad science labs of northern Illinois, conveniently located in a our 3,000sf Kids Science Labs in the heart of Northbrook, just minutes away from Wilmette, Glenview, and Skokie, offers summer camps, holiday break camps, slime birthday parties, and chemical reaction parties.

Birthday Parties | Summer Camps | Holiday Break Camps for Kids

Since 2010, Kids Science Labs has transformed science education, using mad science experiments that kids love, including our Explorers (3-5), Investigators (6-8) and Innovators (9-12).

Best hands-on science classes available in Chicago and Seattle are in our STEM Labs and Field Trips at KSL

Foundations are like the roots of a building! They help our houses and towers stand tall and strong in the face of wind, storms, and other environmental factors.

• By investigating the materials that foundations can be made of, like layers of concrete, rocks, or sand, kids are building real-world connections that the buildings we see all around us also have a part of their structure below ground.

• Kids are experimenting with factors that can affect the strength of a building’s foundation, such as how deep into the Earth the building goes, or the composition of the soil where we’re trying to build!

• Beyond seeing that foundations going down into the Earth help to make our buildings safe, kids are exploring what happens when we create additional design elements that real engineers use, such as pilings, which are sturdy posts that drive deep into the ground.
