Each STEMWerkz Lab-in-Class Box contains equipment for your students to conduct investigations in up to 6 science and engineering themes.
Each theme is supported by:
- Animated STEMWerkz digital interactive resources
(we call Learning Stories) for the teacher to project on screen to help your student grasp key concepts surrounding the topic
- Video demonstrations
of each investigation to help the teacher successfully conduct the hands-on activity in class.
Hands-on resources for the Teacher to implement practical STEM learning programs in the Classroom, to build a strong foundation in problem solving for our children
