Meet your KiwiCo
curriculum expert
We'll help you integrate KiwiCo crates into your curriculum and answer any of your questions!
KiwiCo has had a huge impact on creating our 4th grade STEM class. It showed us how much we need hands-on learning.
- Tracy B. (Instructional Coach)
We’ve definitely got some kids thinking about their career readiness with KiwiCo crates. Some kids that never though about engineering and tinkering have just flourished and thrived.
- Michelle M (Director of Chanstang-Fournier K-8 and School Based Clubs)
We have really enjoyed the message machine. I’ve seen kids use them in multiple places throughout the hospital. Before a procedure, they will pull a message from the machine saying ‘you’ve got this’ or whatever motivational message they have made for themselves.
- Jenny O (Manager, Children's Experiences)
The KiwiCo crates have been great! They are very engaging for the kids. I personally love that the boxes are allowing kids to engage in STEM activities. The crates facilitate engagement in higher-level thinking, without them even realizing they are learning! The kids are loving creating, designing, and having fun!
- Jenna E (President and Founder)
The pandemic and its restrictions were a real challenge this past summer for young students in our underserved community. The monthly kits they received from KiwiCo were greatly anticipated by students and parents alike and served as a springboard for engaging, active, hands-on STEM based-learning projects.
- Bill C. (Makerspace Instructor, Constano School)
The 6th graders were so engaged with the Environmental Science: Oil Cleanup. We looked at the academic standards, and this crate tied in beautifully with the class’s watershed project. We’re super impressed, and all the feedback we’ve had is completely positive. I think they’re very engaging and great for the program.
