What is the typical cost per student?
Most kits are about $1–$5 per student per activity, and even less with reuse.
Why are these kits more expensive than typical DIY crafts?
Materials are selected for durability, consistent results, and smooth classroom implementation. Each project is designed to save teachers hours of planning, prep, and trial-and-error.
They are also produced by a certified small business based in the U.S., not a large corporation or overseas drop shipper. The products are designed by a real educator, and produced in smaller batches with close attention to quality.
Have these kits been safety tested?
Yes. All products have been tested to meet U.S. safety standards for children’s products, specifically ASTM-F963.
Do I need special tools or equipment to run these activities?
Nope! All kits include everything you need to run the activity. The only things not included are basic classroom supples like scissors.
What grade levels are these STEM activities appropriate for?
Most activities work best for upper elementary and middle school (grades 3–8), though many can be adapted slightly up or down depending on student ability.
How long do the projects usually take?
Most projects are designed to fit within one class period to a few sessions. Many teachers also stretch activities into multi-day lessons by adding testing, iteration, and reflection.
Are the materials reusable?
Often yes. Many teachers reuse the most valuable and durable components. Some parts, like tape and adhesives, will need to be repurchased to repeat the activity.
What group sizes do these projects work best for?
Activities work well with any group size, from individual kids to classrooms, camps, and programs working with 10–30+ students at a time.
Can these activities support NGSS standards?
Yes. While the projects are flexible and open-ended, they can easily be structured to support NGSS-aligned instruction.
