Art & Design
Mathematics and Physics
Construction Technology
Business & Entrepreneurship
Physical & Environmental Sciences
Woodworking
History and Culture
Languages
Learn more about curriculum and lesson options here.
Our new Virtual Build Kit makes it easy to set up your students with the materials needed for the project! Individually packed kits will be sent to your school to be picked up by each student. We also have a Remote Learning Order Form for customizing your class setup based on your needs.
Need more information? We have created a single page flyer that is useful for emailing to friends and associates!
We accept Purchase Orders.
