Meet Benjamin! This clever chameleon was our founder’s family pet and the inspiration behind our name.
Chamelea was founded by SickKids scientist Dr. Alina S. Kotler, who was motivated by the aim to explain complex ideas to her young daughters.
While conducting research, Alina began imagining a place where kids could make their own scientific discoveries. She set out to create an innovative new learning and birthday party experience.
With the creation of Chamelea Science, Alina was able to actualize this vision. As a mother of two with decades’ experience as a professional scientist, her understanding of the importance that education is fun has made Chamelea the thoughtful, one-of-a-kind science venue it is today.
From our Chamelea lab to your home, Chamelea staff are excited to reveal the budding scientist that lives in all of us!
