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.
I love them, they are providing enough resources for all kids to use. The equipment is often well beyond our budget can afford and the students are engaged while working on an activity. There are some activities that our babies can do and then some which challenge the minds off ur bigger students. Thank you House of Science for providing the opportunities for our students to learn about science and for ensuring all resources are available to us as well. NGA MIHI NUI

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. Catherine Steenson Teacher and Learner in room 3.

Conversations just went all over the show. It was great to relate what we know in our own lives and how it relates to this kit.

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!

As a teacher I have found the Science kits great for exposing my students to science ideas they might not normally look at as part of our science teaching. Thank you for all your organisation resourcing and putting the kits together.
