Five hands-on, NGSS-aligned activities for one to three learners. Materials and a facilitation guide, all in one box.
Only $29.99 a pack, for one to three learners.
Each theme is a complete five-activity unit built around one focus, NGSS-coded from Kindergarten up. Packs are sold separately, so a small group can work through one or rotate through several.
Five STEAM project builds on one theme, sequenced so each one leads into the next. Any activity also stands on its own.
Everything the five activities call for, bagged and labelled, much of it surplus RAFT kept out of landfill.
Plain, step-by-step instructions written for a teacher, a tutor or a parent. No science background needed.
RAFT has been turning Bay Area industrial surplus into hands-on STEAM materials since 1994. A Discovery Pack is that work at its smallest useful size: one theme, five builds, one small group.
Materials, guide and sequence in one box. Nothing to print, source or shop for.
Sorted by activity. Open it, read the guide, start. No STEAM background required.
Each theme is built around one focus, NGSS-coded from Kindergarten up, so a pack can carry a unit rather than fill an afternoon.
300 tons of material diverted from landfill every year by the nonprofit behind the box.
