NESTLÉ® NANKID® LAUNCHES INTERACTIVE STEM EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN AGED 3 – 6

NESTLÉ® NANKID® OPTIPRO® GOLD 4 is bringing science, discovery and playful learning to life through NANKID® World, an immersive family experience designed for children aged 3-6. Taking place in Johannesburg and Cape Town this October, the event will invite young minds to explore interactive science zones, hands-on experiments and engaging learning experiences while supporting parents and caregivers on their child development journey.

To celebrate the launch of NANKID® World, consumers will have the opportunity to win exclusive access to the event through the brand’s “Unlock Your Golden Ticket” consumer competition.

Research continues to highlight the important role of play in early childhood development. According to UNICEF South Africa, play is fundamental to children’s learning and development, supporting cognitive development, social skills and emotional resilience, while encouraging creativity, connection and confidence.

Building on this, NANKID® World has been created as an engaging edutainment experience for South African families, bringing learning to life through play, exploration and discovery. The experience provides children with an environment where they can have fun while developing new skills, while parents and caregivers are given opportunities to engage, learn and access expert guidance in a supportive family-focused environment.

Designed to make science more accessible and engaging, the experience will feature interactive pods where children can explore scientific concepts through hands-on activities, experiments and playful challenges. Each pod will encourage children to observe, experiment, test ideas and ask questions, and discover how science connects to the world around them.

Parents and caregivers will also get an opportunity to interact with a qualified health expert who will be available throughout the event to answer questions and provide practical insights on supporting children’s growth and development.

“Curiosity is one of the most powerful drivers of learning in early childhood. Through NANKID® World, we wanted to create an experience where children can explore, discover and enjoy science through play, while giving parents and caregivers access to expert guidance and a supportive community,” says Jonathan Sidi, Senior Brand Manager for Infant Nutrition at Nestlé East and Southern Africa Region (ESAR).
