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.
This was such a great kit! Our students loved it, the activities were easy to teach, there were clear next steps for new learning and we all had so much fun. Thank you very much!

This kit was the most engaging for my boy heavy class, we had so much fun that we were able to entice other teachers within the kura to give it a go too. Conversations moved from wow look at how high that went to, wow we need a lot of force or thrust to get that high.

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.

Avonhead School
This is the great thing about this resource is that teachers are free to adapt everything to their own class. Collaborative Learning of the measuring tools. The concepts in the box on the whole was too hard. My kids don’t even know what a stop watch, timer tape measure is let alone the harder concept tools. I pushed the desks to the side got the kits out took the tools out of the boxes and let the kids explore.
