How has this kit influenced your confidence in STEM teaching and learning? Yes, very much so. It was perfect timing and set our collaborative class up well for the rest of the year.
“The Jean Batten Kit worked well as a platform for our children to understand their sense of belonging. We used the kits for 2 days - the children working problem solving and code cracking, map reading skills and understanding the place important to Jean.”

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.”

“Amazing kit! The students were so engaged from the beginning through to the end. The problem solving that they did was challenging enough that it got them thinking outside of the square. They liked how this continued throughout the kit.”
