Why choose Woz ED for Science?
There are a hundred reasons,
but here are the top five as reported by highly satisfied users.
Affordability
Woz ED Science Kits are the most economical solution available in terms of curriculum AND student device requirements. There is no ongoing subscription fee. Consumables and equipment needed for project completion are shipped in each sturdy and convenient kit box.
Alignment
Woz ED Science Kits were BUILT for the standards by science teachers who helped develop the standards. No existing materials were adapted to “fit” the standards.
Time
Woz ED Science Kits cover 95% of the standards in 1/3 of the time required by other programs. We understand Science is not taught every day in the elementary classroom. We built the program with teacher reality in mind.
Training
Our training is delivered on-site and/or through the combination of an on-line, self-paced learning module and science experts available for specific support needs. No sitting through all day workshops. No sitting through hours of ZOOM training. We can get most elementary and middle school teachers ready to go in one hour, teachers serving students with individualized education plans in three.
Support
When students can attend class the project-based, hands on focus quickly engages them in deep and authentic science learning. But if students have an extended absence or we experience school closures the learning continues. Our cloud-based lessons give the students the information they need to begin work at home without parental involvement. These short, engaging instructional sessions are designed to free up the teacher from science instruction so the teacher can focus on social and emotional support.
The Challenge
The Next Generation Sunshine State Science Standards include more hands-on, project-based experiences, which require more planning and preparation time.
The standards call for students to form hypotheses, test theories, and analyze data. Creating new lessons and having the necessary resources on hand to meet the needs of these standards can be daunting, time-consuming and costly.
Woz ED specializes in the development of units of study that allow students to develop an engineering mindset with minimal impact on the teacher. These turnkey units were written for the science standards and can immediately be implemented in the classroom.
“OPEN-ENDED DESIGN—students are given a problem that they can work through as a team to create a solution bringing Nature of Science to life!”
Meeting The Challenge
Through partnerships with thousands of districts, Boys & Girls Clubs, STEM Ecosystems, Scout Troops and schools, Woz ED is turning Steve Wozniak’s vision into reality.
Woz ED’s Science and STEM kits are being used in over 3,000 schools across America, and are answering the challenge. Our turnkey kits allow teachers with minimal technical expertise to facilitate deep learning experiences in science and career pathways such as coding, cybersecurity, drones, mobile development, engineering, data analysis, animation and artificial intelligence – starting in Kindergarten.
The world needs inventors, great ones. Our mission is to provide students with opportunities so that they can be successful… to put the spark in great inventors who can change the world.
“JUST LIKE STEVE DID.”
These kits make it possible for students to experience what scientists do to investigate the natural world and what engineers do to design and build systems. These project-based lessons and materials promote scientific inquiry, engaging students in practices that establish foundational knowledge of core scientific ideas and build on that foundation to ensure a cohesive understanding of science.
