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 kits were really well resourced and bilingual which were awesome and made it user friendly for our tauira of maori background.

The manual and video support are excellent. The organisation of the materials is wonderful and easy to rebox to return. The worksheets fitted the lessons well. Drop off and pick up were problem free. It’s a great kit and very user friendly. Thank you.

Great resource, but due to time restraints we did not get time to complete all the activities. I thoroughly enjoy using Te Reo intergrated with my students. The kupu Putaiao are brilliant, some are new to me, even though I am fluent, some of the new scientific words are unknown. Well done congratulations to the Reo interpreters

As this was a new curriculum for us at Tarawera High School we were learning together (students and teacher) about the science kits, vocabulary for science as well as experiments. Great hands on resources for students to do investigations with as well as inquiry learning

My Year 2/3 children really engaged with this kit. They loved the hands on nature of it, and enjoyed exploring the scientific concepts in an open-ended way. They really loved the Newton’s Cradle. Thank you for such an amazing quality kit of resources!
