Henkel North America Hosts STEM Event For Students In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT —Henkel North America hosted an interactive event called "Be a Henkel Researcher!" at its Henkel Experience Center in Stamford on April 19.

Members of Henkel’s research and development team led more than 30 students, ages 6-12, through hands-on sessions and science experiments. Participating students donned lab coats, goggles and protective gloves while they learned about surface tension and experienced foaming outcomes and explosive bubbling.

This event was part of Henkel’s larger commitment to STEM education – especially in the local Stamford area.

Last summer, the consumer goods and adhesives company introduced summer STEM programming in partnership with the Mill River Park Collaborative as part of the Henkel Researchers’ World program.

"This event was a fun, interactive way to get children excited about science and I hope it showed some of these young researchers what a career in STEM could look like," said Carolina Betancourt, senior manager, Henkel Experience Center North America.
