112 • SEPTEMBER 2026 • Growing Young Scientists THE BELL MUSEUM wanted to bring hands-on science beyond its walls, especially to Minnesota children with limited access to museum programming. Working with distributor ASB (PPAI 101656, Platinum) and salesperson Kim Hamlin, the museum created 15,000 free STEM kits for K-5 students. Each kit supported four activities – from sewing a constellation to growing basil – and paired clear instructions with kid-friendly graphics across the box, pencils and seed packets. The smartest touch: Once unpacked, the branded box became a six-compartment greenhouse, extending the experience while reducing waste. Strategic sourcing kept the donation-funded program on budget without cutting an activity, helping thousands of families explore science at home and in their communities. Perfect Promo
