Empowering the next generation of innovators, ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda brings interactive science experiences to students from around the globe at this year’s Finals
EAST LANSING, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda is proud to return as a sponsor of the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, taking place May 21–24, 2025, at Michigan State University. For the sixth consecutive year, the brand is championing curiosity, teamwork, and creative problem solving in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) field, through supporting science fueled activities that make learning engaging and accessible for all students.
With over 100 uses as a versatile, affordable, and accessible product, including at-home science experiments, ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda plays a key role in supporting education anywhere. The brand proudly sponsors events like Odyssey of the Mind, a global creative problem-solving program for students of all ages, where they can foster relationships and show how science can be both fun and educational in and out of the classroom.
At this year’s event, ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda will host a large, classroom style space dedicated to slime making, where up to 50 students at a time can dive into the science experiment firsthand. Using ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda, students will explore chemical reactions with safe household materials, demonstrating how science can be approachable for all.
In addition to making slime, participants will have a chance to write a “Message to the Stars.” These messages will be compiled into a 10×10 foot poster display, serving as both a collaborative art project and reminder of the dreams and ideas that power future innovation. Each student who contributes a message will receive a special pin to commemorate their contribution. To round out the experiments, ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda will also support baking soda bottle rocket launch activities using the product, encouraging students to witness science in motion and dream of futures as infinite as space itself.
“We’re proud to mark our sixth consecutive year partnering with Odyssey of the Mind to inspire curiosity and hands-on learning,” said Aaron Greengard, Senior Brand Manager at ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda. “ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda is more than just a household staple, it’s a dynamic learning tool that helps students from all backgrounds explore, experiment, and learn both at home and in the classroom.”
As a supporting partner of the brand, Emily Calandrelli, MIT Aerospace Engineer and Emmy-nominated host known as “Emily the Space Gal,” shares ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda’s passion for sparking curiosity and encouraging kids to explore STEAM. She’ll be cheering on the Odyssey of the Mind community from home and promoting hands-on-learning experiences that can be done with simple, easy to use products.
