Reclaimed materials · Ready-to-teach kits
Hands-on STEAM kits and reclaimed classroom materials, priced so a teacher can say yes. Everything here starts as surplus from Bay Area businesses and leaves as a lesson.
Kit of the week
Students build a basic circuit from scratch, make a portable version they can carry back to their desk, then push into parallel and series wiring. One kit covers the whole arc from “does it light up?” to “why does it light up?”
