In a world where we hear far more about the bad than the
good, it is vital to recognize exceptional actions when taken. BASF continues
their partnership with the Louisiana Arts & Science Museum to provide a
hands-on learning experience for children ages 6 to 12.
BASF The Chemical
Company started the partnership four years ago in the company’s continual
effort to support science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in
the region.
“BASF encourages an interest in science at an early age,”
said Tom Yura, Senior Vice President and Manager of the Geismar BASF site. “Our
goal is to have kids interact with the basics of chemistry and the products
that surround them daily so that they can explore the connections to chemistry
in their world. Through Kids’ Lab we provide hands-on learning that helps
today’s students become the innovators and leaders of the future.”
More than 10,300 people have participated in the program at
the museum since its induction. This has allowed children and adults alike to
explore chemistry in safe, supervised experiments as well as demonstrations. By
exposing young children to science, BASF truly opens the door for new
explorations and interests for the children. Additionally, the company is
giving back to the community around them in a very positive way.
This is just one example of coatings companies getting
involved in their communities to make the world a better place.
