What is the recommended age range?
MEL Coding is intended for kids 4–7 years old. Kids closer to 7 years old will be able to complete all the tasks by themselves, while younger kids will need some assistance from adults.

Are the experiments safe?
Yes, they are. We have made every effort to ensure that our experiments are as safe as possible:
- They comply with the US CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) requirements for educational sets.
- Our hands-on chemistry projects comply with The European Committee for Standardization’s (CEN) special list of substances allowed in children’s chemistry sets (EN 71-4).
- None of our projects include explosives.
- All of them have been tested with kids and include detailed, visual step-by-step instructions.
Can I buy an individual MEL Science kit?
Currently, there is no such option. However, we hope to introduce this opportunity soon.
Does each set contain multiple-use activities?
