Who we are
STEAM programs in North America
Working with institutions, communities and volunteers, BASF is helping students imagine the possibilities that S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) offers for their future and for the world. Through BASF's programs, students conduct experiments, explore institutional settings, and experience workplace environments that provide insight for different ages and interests.
Here’s a closer look at the engaging and inspiring programs BASF offers students from preschool through high school.
Kids' Lab
Kids always seem to have a sense of wonder. From peek-a-boo to building forts, the act of discovery brightens their day. Through our interactive Kids’ Lab program (ages 4 –12), BASF focuses that sense of wonder by pairing chemistry with fun. We give them what they love: a hands-on opportunity to explore connections between science and their world.

Teens' Lab
Teenagers tend to take themselves pretty seriously. Well, so do we. We created our Teens’ Lab specifically for them. Teens’ Lab provides a unique opportunity to use state-of-the-art equipment in a university-level lab, where perhaps they'll spark an interest in future careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

TECH Academy
Technically, there’s more than one road to a technical career. There’s computer technology and then there’s industrial technology. Think operator, pipefitter or welder. BASF’s TECH Academy offers unique opportunities to high school students who have an eye on a career in industrial arts and process technology. Inquisitive teens get the chance to explore skills along this path and engage with professionals to begin their journey in the industry.
Since the 2015 launch,
218 students
have participated.
“BASF’s TECH Academy was a great experience, and it really helped me discover what job I would choose for my future career. I’m choosing to pursue a technical degree when I graduate from high school. I hope to become a drafter or a welder. I want to be the best at anything I attempt to accomplish.”
- Alex Fields, student at East Ascension High School
