    Along Columbia Road NW technically in Lanier Heights is a shop that's unlike any in the country. Combining science-related gifts and goods with hands-on science-based workshop, Because Science is on a mission. Woman-owned, Because Science uses art as an entry to teach science to all ages. After all, the sign out front reads "Science is for everyone." Open every day, step inside to a world about all kinds of science. Staff are passionate about their craft and sell a variety of gifts and goods from slime kits to books about space to science-related greeting cards. With a lab in the back, they also create and sell their own goods- art made from recycled circuit breakers, stickers, and more. They host regular workshops for all ages from slime making classes to how to make your own lava lamp nights. They also do an event where you can safely take apart an electronic and use some of its parts to create art. To help fall in love with science, I highly recommend visiting Because Science. They also sell their products online and at select markets.

    Supercute shop on Columbia NW. They have gift items for whatever type of scientist you or your child would like to be. Plus they make great art from recycled computer bits. Of course, I had to have a mini robot from circuitbreaker labs. But I also found some fun dino items and was seriously tempted by some of the botany stuff. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly without being pushy and they recycle e-waste! Definitely a great spot to shop for the nerd in your life, especially if that nerd is you!

    While exploring DC we came across this absolute gem. As a early childhood educator, I found the store, absolutely darling. I wish there was something like this in my area. Everything inside is science base/themed down to stickers, buttons, books, gifts, baby items, paintings, jewelry and more. The owner saw me in the corner struggling to make a item work and came right over. She was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the item. Will definitely be returning when we visit again.

    The art and jewelry made from circuits and computer parts decorates the store and is for sale- what a cool way to recycle electronics and also have one of a kind art.
