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 library-based 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 kit was amazing. The tamariki loved using the activities and were very engaged. The activities were at a good level and the learning outcomes were perfect for our unit we are doing. Everything was ready to go, so it saved so much time and made science accessible for me as a teacher to present to the class. Without this kit our space activities would have been very boring. Thank you very much!

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!

It was amazing!!! We absolutely loved it and the kids got a real buzz out of all the activities that we did. We wish that we could have had more time but we had to share with other classes. It was so easy to use and it really brought science alive in the classroom. We are going to move into a renewable energy inquiry after such a successful, motivating and inspiring week with your kit. Thank you so much.

This has been such a motivator in my classroom. It has reignited our spark for learning. We now consider ourselves the Water Cycle experts in our school, as this is what our school wide focus includes for this term

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.
