Kids Science Labs is opening in Green Lake this month near the Green Lake Village PCC. The midwest based company focuses on science programs with creative design and problem solving for kids ages 2-14.

And according to their website, has a pretty cool origin story:

Kids Science Labs was started by two dads who wanted to solve a problem.  As engineers they knew how cool science could be, that is it all around us, and that kids love it.  The problem was by age 9, kids began to be convinced science was boring, not cool, not relevant, or just too hard.  Five years later, KSL has now grown into an exceptional team of more than 40 educators, scientists, artists, and innovators who all care very deeply about kids and inspiring the next generation of problem solvers and innovators.

Classes begin the first week of August and the full schedule starts in September.

To celebrate the grand opening they are hosting several events (many of which are free):

• July 31st (10:30am-2pm) – Family Fun Grand Opening: Chemistry & Reactions
• Aug 5th (6pm-8pm) – Parents Night Out: Creativity & Innovation
• August 27th (10am-1pm) – Open House: Back to School Innovation, Backpack Design
• September 10th(1pm-4pm) – Football Kick-off: Design your own Stadium

405 NE 71st Street
