Kid Fit by Age
The programs are designed for children aged 3 and up; no content or activities are suitable for babies.
Programs start at age 3, so toddlers below this age are not accommodated.
Children aged 3 to 5 participate well in age-appropriate science experiments like sensory activities, simple slime making, and interactive demos tailored to their developmental level.
Students aged 6 to 10 thrive in hands-on experiments, group challenges, and curriculum-aligned STEM activities that engage curiosity and learning.
Ages 11 to 13 enjoy more advanced projects such as rocket launches, coding basics, and chemical reactions with real-world applications.
While programs are available for teens up to age 16, the activities are designed more for younger audiences; older teens may find content less challenging but still engaging for casual participation.
