PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- ABC's hit show 'Abbott Elementary' is inspired by schools in Philadelphia.[br /][br /]Now, the show wants to help inspire local students to reach for careers in STEM. It's the reason why a pop-up full of experiments and inspiration stopped by James Rhodes Elementary in West Philadelphia.[br /] [br /]"To be able to have a field trip get dropped in the parking lot for your students, it's awesome," said Danielle Chavis, coordinator for the Curiosity Cube.[br /][br /]The pop-up was created by the global life science company MilliporeSigma.[br /] [br /]"The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container turned mobile science lab where we go to communities across our country to spark curiosity and the next generation of scientists," said Chavis.[br /] [br /]"When they told us they were going to come and do the Curiosity Cube here, the kids were super, super, excited," said Megan Wapner, principal of James Rhodes Elementary School.[br /] [br /]The cube included three hands-on science experiments. They were all based around the life cycle of a t-shirt, from what it's made of to how it can be recycled.[br /] [br /]"There's little shirts and you use it and you put it on top and you got to see if it's fabric," said 4th-grader Cherish Mannino.[br /] [br /]This is the sixth year that MilliporeSigma has done the Curiosity Cube. This year, they've partnered with Philadelphia's favorite show: 'Abbott Elementary.'[br /] [br /]The comedy is set at a fictional elementary school in Philadelphia. Principal Wapner is among the fans of the show.[br /] [br /]"I do watch 'Abbott Elementary!'" she said with a smile.[br /] [br /]The show's partnership with MilliporeSigma helped bring the Curiosity Cube to Philadelphia.[br /] [br /]"I know for sure that we're sparking curiosity in the next generation," said Chavis.[br /] [br /]The cube focuses on traveling to Title 1 schools, where the majority of children are on free or reduced lunch.[br /] [br /]"It's something we couldn't afford. We couldn't do it without the support of this community and organizations like this," said Wapner.[br /] [br /]The experience opens up the world of STEM to local kids like 4th-grader Kaelief Strand.[br /] [br /]"I want to be a scientist that cures cancer and makes medical potions," he said.[br /] [br /]Rayvin Young is also inspired to enter a STEM field.[br /] [br /]"I want to be a scientist when I grow up myself," said the 4th grader recapping her experience in the Curiosity Cube. "It was fun!"[br /] [br /]The kids left with scientific souvenirs: a pair of science goggles and a kit to plant basil complete with a pot that had the 'Abbott Elementary' logo on it.[br /] [br /]The kids' experience could be a big step towards a bright future.[br /] [br /]"We know the more experience we give to our students in stem, it will start to spark that curiosity in them," said Wapner.[br /] [br /]The Curiosity Cube is also stopping at another Philadelphia school, then the tour will continue with stops in New York City, Boston, and Houston.
