Our Purpose
Empowering Teachers
We develop relevant, comprehensive resource kits with all the materials needed to carry out engaging science lessons. The bilingual kits are delivered to schools using a subscription based library system.
Our Vision
Raising Scientific Literacy
We aim to see every child in New Zealand become scientifically literate. This means they have a clear understanding of science concepts and processes encountered in their daily lives. Improving scientific literacy will have a huge economic and social benefit to New Zealand.
Critical Thinking Skills
Science teaches us how to gather and interpret information, and to make informed decisions. A key skill in light of the prolific ‘fake news’ on all media platforms.
Economic Prosperity
Our future economy depends on advancements in clean technology, automation and digital innovation. A scientifically literate workforce will have the skills to embrace this future of work.
Health & Wellbeing
Science enables us as individuals to make informed decisions about diet, exercise and medical treatments. These choices directly impact our personal health and wellbeing and that of our families.
Our Values
Fostering Curiosity
Making It Count
We are here to make a positive difference in the lives of our children by helping teachers deliver great science lessons.
Empowering People
We create an environment where people can think big, have fun and contribute in a safe and inclusive way.
Being Curious
We ask questions and challenge the status quo in order to create a better tomorrow.
The kit as usual was so well thought out and easy to pick up and use. I love the information it gives to develop my own knowledge as the teacher so I can try and facilitate as meaningful of an experience as possible. All student information is really clear for them to follow, so they all get to have some independence as growing scientists!

It was a great kit to do with a large number of classes coming through – I have it for another week and have two classes using it per day. I’m doing slightly different things for the younger kids – more discussion, wonderings and really honing in on developing their observational skills. The kids were really engaged with it – I was surprised that hardly any of them had seen a Jacob’s Ladder! That’s a classic toy I would’ve thought. Anyway, great stuff and thanks.

An amazing resource that we feel very lucky to be able to access. Our whole school of 170 students uses each kit when booked.

Love that they are easy to follow for the kids and teachers a like. I had to leave a couple for relievers to run and they were able to pick them up and continue.

This was the first House of Science Kit that I’ve used and I am super impressed! Great teacher material / background info, easy to follow experiments and ALL resources provided! So easy to use and the discussions that the experiments prompted were invaluable!
