FermIQ Bioreactor Discovery STEM Kit - Early Explorer (Grade 3-8)

$99.00

The FermIQ Bioreactor Discovery STEM Kit is a hands-on biotechnology kit that walks students through a scaled-down version of real-world upstream bioprocessing using three progressive labs.

Inside the box, students will complete:

  • Polymer Chemistry Lab – Explore how materials are formed by creating a polymer and observing how ingredients interact and change.

  • Yeast Fermentation Lab – Work with living cells to observe fermentation in action, including gas production and biological activity.

  • Yeast Process Development Lab – Step into the role of a Junior Process Engineer by testing, monitoring, and adjusting process conditions to improve outcomes.

Each lab builds on the previous one, guiding students from chemistry → biology → process control, just like in the biotechnology industry. Students record their observations and results using the included FermIQ Process Development Log, reinforcing critical thinking and scientific analysis throughout the experience.

This kit delivers a structured, real-world STEM experience that moves beyond simple experiments—introducing students to how biotechnology processes are developed, tested, and optimized.

The FermIQ Bioreactor Discovery STEM kit is intentionally designed to mirror an industry-inspired scale-up process. The student will progress through a sequence of hands-on experiments—including a chemistry lab, a yeast fermentation lab, and an integrated process control lab—bringing real bioprocess concepts to life in an age-appropriate way.

Each kit transforms the classroom into a miniature biotechnology lab, where students explore how living cells are monitored, controlled, and optimized to produce everyday essentials like food, medicine, and sustainable materials.

The FermIQ Bioreactor Discovery STEM kit is built to:

  • Increase early awareness of biotechnology careers

  • Introduce bioprocess thinking in an accessible, age-appropriate way

  • Build scientific confidence in elementary and middle school students

  • Support educators with limited STEM resources

  • Deliver industry-aligned learning through hands-on exploration

Our STEM kit transforms curiosity into real-world application, empowering students to see themselves as future innovators in biotechnology.
