Teacher testimonials
"Would we have done the activities without the kit boxes? Probably not. There are so many demands made in terms of curriculum and everything else, so the boxes were the inspiration for getting this work done."
"It gave me a bit of an attitude shift, e.g. how it’s not all about key terms and phrases but also about standing back and letting them figure stuff out for themselves and even fail if it’s instructive to do so."
"A lot of our children don’t have role models, sometimes not even of someone who has taken STEM on at secondary, never mind STEM careers. So when you can get them to think, ‘oh, this is fun actually and this is challenging and this is interesting’, that might start to change that perception of ‘I might be interested in this’ or ‘I might be able to do this in the future’ "
