⚙️ Learning Concepts: Energy, Circuits, Construction

Introduce students to the fundamentals of energy, electricity, and simple circuits with the buildable, laser-cut LIGHT kit.
Made from natural, high-quality plywood and assembling without glue or chemicals, this kit is safe, durable, and ideal for repeated classroom use.

Students construct a functional light with a switch, adjustable arm, and removable battery compartment. Through hands-on exploration, they learn how electrical energy moves through a circuit, how switches work, and how design choices affect function.

📚 Built for Teachers. Aligned to the Curriculum.

Every kit includes an Instruction Booklet and a comprehensive Lesson Plan featuring:

  • Curriculum-aligned learning outcomes
  • Scaffolded activities and guided circuit investigations
  • Assessment ideas and extension pathways
