What the DIY Innovation Kits actually is

Where the other seven labs are fixed rooms, DIY Innovation Kits are the mobile, modular answer for schools that want to start small, run a holiday camp, or let a student keep building at home. Each box is self-contained — components, illustrated manual, and a QR-linked video walkthrough — so a kit works equally well in a 40-minute period, a weekend maker club, or a child's bedroom desk.

01.
Zero fixed infrastructure

No dedicated room, wiring or furniture required — a kit runs on any desk with a power socket.

02.
Take-home ownership model

Kits can be sold or bundled for students to keep, extending learning beyond the school day.

03.
QR-linked video manuals

Every kit box includes a scannable code to a guided build video, reducing dependence on a trained instructor.

04.
Ladder, not a one-off

Kits are numbered in a difficulty ladder so a student's third kit is harder than their first, unlike a single novelty box.

Lab Setup & Equipment

Spec sheet: what gets installed

Every component below ships, is commissioned on-site, and comes with a matching maintenance line item — nothing here is a "coming soon" placeholder.

Curriculum & Grade Roadmap

A continuous pathway, not one-off

Modules build on each other year over year so a student's grade-10 session assumes and extends what they built in grade-6, rather than repeating fundamentals.
