About our program



Imagine a world of possibilities



Science 4 Kern is Kern County's first and only science education lending library program geared toward Kern County students. Engaging science kits consisting of equipment, lab materials, curriculum, consumables, and educational support are available on loan at NO COST to Kern County schools. All materials are delivered and retrieved to and from the school site, making the program completely turn-key for schools.
