# STEM Warning Label Merch Concepts

## Core line

Future Liability™
Lab Supervision Required

## Shirt format

Front:
- Formula / warning / equation

Back:
- “I may go to a STEM school, but I am not to be trusted with ______.”

## School-safer concepts

- C₃H₅N₃O₉ — Lab Supervision Required
- C₉H₈O₄ — My origin story requires chemistry
- 3V3 ≠ 5V — Ask me how I know
- DIN ≠ DOUT — The LED Ring Incident
- git push --force — Not to be trusted with main
- I²C — Pull-ups required
- E-STOP — I pressed it because it was red
- STL v37_FINAL_final_reallyfinal.stl — Print failed at 96%

## Adult/private/garage-only concepts

These can be funny but are probably not PTA/fundraiser safe:

- “My mom took too much C₉H₈O₄ and now I have to go to a STEM school.”
- Direct explosives/overdose jokes.
- Anything that could make a school admin breathe into a paper bag.

## Good blanks

- Bella + Canvas 3001 black/navy
- Youth tee for school-safe versions
- Hoodies for robotics club / winter lab goblins
- Stickers for formula-only variants

## Validation path

1. Mock up 4–6 concepts.
2. Ask Olivia/Mandy which ones kids would actually wear.
3. Ask one STEM teacher which ones would survive school review.
4. Keep adult garage jokes separate from EDU merch.
