"Bounty recognizes the benefits of learning outside the classroom," said Chris Brown, Bounty Brand Manager. "Since this opportunity may not exist for every child, Bounty is happy to help provide children with these types of experiences to inspire hands-on learning and encourage their creative thought process."

At the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, a nationally recognized institution dedicated to sparking community dialogue, insight and inspiration, parents and their children were invited to participate in numerous hands-on activities highlighting the science and technology that goes into the production of Bounty paper towels.

"Providing children with opportunities to participate in practical activities builds problem-solving skills and allows them to explore a topic using multiple senses," said Tony Lawson, director of the Duke Energy Children's Museum. "Through this partnership, we can work together to demonstrate the importance of science in everyday life."  

The Bounty brand believes that everyone should live life uninhibited by messes. It is a mission of Bounty's to provide children with opportunities to unlock their creativity and curiosity through learning by doing.  Therefore, the Bounty experience was developed to provide children with a fun and engaging way to learn about the science behind Bounty.
