All kits are reusable, easy to store and compatible with traditional classroom settings or an open concept learning space.
A curriculum to support educators
Setting up STEM programs in a school for the first time can be difficult. Despite government incentives and programs, teachers still need to be given the support to be able to teach STEM skills in the classroom. Many educators are left scratching their heads on how to best implement STEM in their own learning spaces.
STEM is important for upcoming generations because future jobs will require problem solving skills, innovative and creative thinking and digital skills. Future generations need to learn how to think critically and flexibly in order to adapt to this rapidly changing world.
This BrainCo STEM Kit provides a fully customisable learning experience for students of all ages. Based on the same technology used in the real prosthetic, the kit is an excellent entry point for students to learn about robotics, prosthetics, coding, and all aspects of STEM. The kit is supported by curriculum guides, worksheets and PowerPoint slide decks making it extremely easy and supportive for teachers to introduce this as part of their curriculum for schools.
