“The power kit caught the children's attention very quickly with the contents. The results and projects we explored were very hands on, just what 5 year Olds love! Unfortunately the batteries provided weren't powerful enough but we improvised with a 9v and these worked well.”

“Getting set up was the hardest part - I like to have everything in paper form in front of me so I can easily map out my teaching pathway - this was a little tricky with everything being digital from the dashboard of your website.”

“The range and variety in this kit for the students is great. It hand all learners involved and encouraged team work. As a small rural school having the opportunity to use a school kit helped to evolve the students ideas from their minds into real hands on learning. Ngaa mihi.”

“It was a wonderful kit for most 7-year-olds and older. 5 year olds who have just started with their learning journey was too busy for them with small visuals. They are unable to read or write and using google and visuals work better.”

“This is an interesting kit with flexible lessons. The electrical components - batteries and LEDs didn't work very well and I had to spend nearly $100 to buy enough working 9volt batteries, connectors and new LEDs for our hub. The students loved the electric playdough, storytelling, and the Rube Goldberg lessons. As usual, the term filled up with many un timetabled practises etc, so I was not able to teach every lesson I had planned. I liked how the lessons and the resources were very flexible in how you used them.”

“The activities were very useful and easy for the children to use and access. They were simple enough that the students could understand the learning behind it. There were a variety of ideas and tools to use that involved materials but also activities that didnt involve any extra materials.”
