What Science4you Spain does

Science4you Spain is the Spanish regional market operation of Science4you, S.A., a privately held Portuguese educational and scientific toy producer founded in 2008 and headquartered in Loures, Portugal, with Spanish operations in Madrid. The company develops STEAM-oriented toys and kits for children aged 0-16, organized across age segments (3-5, 6-8, 9-13, 14+) and science categories including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, and ecology. The product portfolio spans science experiment kits (e.g., Kits de Ciencias with 100 and 250 experiments), robotics (Omegabot, Gammabot, Deltabot, Romi), technology toys (microscopes, telescopes, drones, instant cameras), DIY craft kits (perfume and soap factories, candle making, slimes), and a Kidult line for adult hobbyists.
