INTRODUCING THE ELECTRIC MOTORS CATALYST 30-STUDENT CLASSROOM MODULE

Our original Electric Motors Catalyst STEM kits have been used in hundreds of classrooms to bring highly effective, deeply immersive learning experiences to elementary and middle school students around the world. Now we are proud to announce the immediate availability of the Electric Motors Catalyst 30-Student Classroom Module.

Over three years in the making, the 30-Student Classroom Module builds on everything we have learned and is designed to provide elementary school teachers with a highly effective, easy to use STEM solution. From the beautiful wood cabinet to the 192 pages of curriculum units, facilitation tips, and assessment guidelines, the Class-Pack was designed by teachers for teachers and makes project-based learning simpler and more effective than it has ever been.
