Engineering Activity Kit: K-2 Students

Everything You Need to Bring Engineering to Life in the Classroom

The Engineering Kit K–2 provides all the hands-on materials and ready-to-use guidance you need to teach real-world engineering in an elementary classroom. Packed with versatile, classroom-friendly supplies—and now including the Engineering Teacher Curriculum Guide for K–2—this kit makes it easy to spark creativity, support open-ended challenges, and implement NGSS-aligned lessons with confidence.

The included Teacher Curriculum Guide provides 30+ standards-aligned lesson plans anchored in real-world scientific phenomena. With step-by-step instructions, pacing guides, student activity sheets, and extension ideas, it helps educators turn everyday materials into meaningful engineering design challenges. Students learn to think like engineers by moving through the full Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test & Improve, and Share.

This kit also includes the Student Task Cards—30 double-sided prompts featuring student-led challenges and teacher guidance. Together, the materials, task cards, and curriculum guide create a flexible system for whole-class lessons, small group rotations, or integrated STEM time.

Please note: this item does not include Evo robots. Those must be purchased separately.
