Lysol recently announced that in advance of the 2024–25 school year, it will be donating Lysol Minilabs Science Kits to Title I schools throughout the country through its HERE for Healthy Schools initiative, according to a news release. The program’s goal is to prevent the spread of illness in schools and promote the tools for clean learning and living environments. Lysol partnered with kids’ co-design lab The GIANT Room to create the kits.

According to the news release, the kits contain educational materials, lesson plans, and classroom activities for teachers. The contents of each kit will vary and revolve around a dedicated theme, like “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 The GIANT Room founder Dr. Azi Jamalian. “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.”

Eligible teachers from U.S. Title I schools can visit The GIANT Room website to submit a form requesting the kits. The news release reports that selected schools will receive the first of three kits beginning in September. Kits will include printed and hands-on materials, including lesson plans, for a class of up to 30 students.

“Lysol remains steadfast in our mission to cultivate a clean environment for consumers and their families, whether in the classroom or at home,” said Benoit Veryser, Vice President of US Marketing for Lysol. "We've taken our expertise in science and germ education, paired with The Giant Room's dedication to creativity, to introduce the Lysol Minilabs Science Kits, equipping teachers with educational tools and resources to help reduce the spread of illness-causing germs and help their students thrive with hands-on learning all year long.”
