Why FLEXCART?
FLEXCART was created to solve a common challenge for educators, science centers, and museums: how to deliver affordable, high-quality hands-on STEM learning. Our mission is simple — make real-world STEM accessible wherever kids are, inspiring curiosity and confidence in young learners of all ages.
Each FLEXCART transforms ordinary lessons into moments of discovery. Students don't just hear about science — they feel it, test it, and remember it. Because when kids get to experiment like real scientists, curiosity takes root and learning lasts.
Teaching that Clicks. Standards that Stick.
Every FLEXCART comes ready to roll with Next Generation Science Standards-aligned lesson plans written by teachers, for teachers. These units turn classrooms and centers into mini labs where students predict, test, and explore — just like real engineers and scientists.
Research backs it up: kids learn best when they do science, not just read about it. Our easy-to-teach, play-to-learn approach gives educators confidence and gives students the spark to keep being curious.
