THIS BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON, LYSOL® IS HERE FOR HANDS-ON LEARNING
Lysol teams up with The GIANT Room to donate Lysol Minilabs Science Kits to Title I schools nationwide
PARSIPPANY, N.J., JULY 29, 2024 – Lysol®, a Reckitt brand, knows that little hands learn best when they’re hands-on. That’s why for year six of the brand’s HERE for Healthy Schools initiative, Lysol is making hands-on learning accessible by donating Lysol Minilabs Science Kits to Title I schools.
Since 2019, Lysol’s HERE for Healthy Schools mission has been to help curb the spread of illness-causing germs in classrooms nationwide and promote a clean environment in school and at home through the use of Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes and Lysol® Disinfectant Spray.
The Lysol Minilabs Science Kits were created in partnership with kids’ co-design lab The GIANT Room using firsthand insights and learnings from teachers, students and Lysol scientists. The limited-time offering kits includes bespoke educational materials, lesson plans and activities for teachers to use for the upcoming 2024 – 2025 school year. * Each of the three kits will feature a dedicated theme, such as Germs in the Classroom.
"We believe the best learning experiences are those designed with students’ and educators’ points of view in mind. Even better are those created with children and teachers involved in the design process,” said Dr. Azi Jamalian, founder of The GIANT Room. “Co-designed with teachers, children, and their families, Lysol Minilabs Science Kits help students better understand the ‘why’ behind healthy hygiene habits and ‘how’ they can change their behavior—all through engaging content children can relate to, hands-on activities and creations, home-school connections, reflections, and reinforcement."
