We have really enjoyed this program. The instructions are clear and step by step and the projects have really illustrated the various components of engineering. My boys have worked on the projects as a team which has been great on so many levels! We look forward to doing another course!

Absolutely LOVED it all!!!! I loved the lessons were concise and very informative! My son loves them and looked forward to each project/lesson! These are extremely well done and thorough! Is there another box-like more projects? Even if it’s the same leading with a few different project to really lock in the lesson, I’d be up for more of what you all can offer. I’ll buy from you all every time! These are quality lessons and quality projects!!

This has been so good. We’ve done it as a group with two other families and each set of brothers works on the projects as a brother team. Each of our families bought kits but we watch the videos together and do the projects side by side and the kids have really looked forward to it.

I loved this hands on, open-and-go program from start to finish. The short lesson at the beginning sets up the project perfectly. The lessons are easy to understand and the step by step video instructions have been a breeze.The prepackaged lessons are very convenient. The Tensegrity structure was one of the projects we struggled with but still very cool! I can’t think of anything to make this program better.

My son really enjoyed the Engineering unit and I had as much fun watching him go through these lessons as he did doing them. He found the lessons very interesting and he thought all the builds were great. It was also great to see him get so creative.
