The BASF Kids’ Lab program enhances science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) related education for students (ages 6-12), encouraging kids to explore the connections between chemistry and the world around them. Since 2013, the program has reached more than 5,000 children in Canada, at no costs to participants.

Earth Rangers School Assembly Program is a dynamic, fun and interactive presentation for students in Grades 1-6. The program uses science-based information to educate children about the importance of protecting biodiversity while highlighting different conservation initiatives across Canada. Throughout the Assembly, students are introduced to four of the Earth Rangers Animal Ambassadors, including animals like Kateri the Peregrine Falcon, Gizmo the Eurasian Eagle Owl, and Quillow the Prehensile-tailed Porcupine.
