We thought this was an outstanding resource. The kids had a fantastic time predicting and experimenting. As a teacher I have always shied away from electronics but after this I am much more confident. So my greatest appreciation for this kit!

Te Kura absolutely love the kits. They are used during our Huinga ako sessions and have proven a real hit. Akonga in Wairoa and Tairawhiti receive lessons and enjoy the hands-on activities and links to the world around them. Science has come alive for them. Thank you.
