FUN FACTs
Exploding Science Kits were first constructed in December of 2011. The effort was lead by Katie Austin. Soon after we started to visit afterschool programs to spark the kids interest in STEM.
Also this year… marked the first year we presented The Big Bacon Theory of Image and Branding at World Championships, which we would present for many years to come.
