How has this kit influenced your confidence in STEM teaching and learning? We didn't use the brush bots as there were plenty of challenges that took lots of time. We will do these at a later date.
“Lots of new, hands on and exciting challenges for our students. Would definitely do this again with students in the future. There was alot of new learning and the pack has plenty of supplies. It took abit to get my head around the different tasks but was well worth persisting through this.”
