A science lab for children opened in Oak Ridge North in September and aims to offer a mix of science, learning and fun.
Cynthia Morgan, owner of Little Beakers, said the facility is a place for children to have fun doing scientific experiments while learning more about science at an early age. Morgan said so far the facility has seen a large amount of children and parents coming through its doors to conduct different experiments at the various stations available.
“This is a museum-style, very hands-on science facility for kids to have fun and work on experiments,” Morgan said. “Everything here is science, and there’s all different topics, such as physics and electrochemistry. It’s a place for kids to know what science is actually about.”
The science lab is the second location of Little Beakers. The first location is in Cypress. Morgan said she came up with the idea for Little Beakers after she discovered people knew little about the many careers available in the science field. Having a background in chemical engineering, Morgan said she wanted to expose more children to potential science jobs.
