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.
No dedicated room, wiring or furniture required — a kit runs on any desk with a power socket.
Kits can be sold or bundled for students to keep, extending learning beyond the school day.
Every kit box includes a scannable code to a guided build video, reducing dependence on a trained instructor.
Kits are numbered in a difficulty ladder so a student's third kit is harder than their first, unlike a single novelty box.
Every component below ships, is commissioned on-site, and comes with a matching maintenance line item — nothing here is a "coming soon" placeholder.
| DUET STEM · AI & Robotics Lab | Rev. 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Component | Specification | Quantity |
| Starter electronics kit | LEDs, buzzers, switches, coin-cell circuits | Gr 1–4 |
| Mechanical build kit | Gears, cranks, simple-machine mini models | Gr 3–6 |
| Robotics-in-a-box kit | Small chassis + motor + basic controller | Gr 5–8 |
| Solar & renewable-energy kit | Solar panel, motor, mini fan/car build | Gr 6–9 |
| IoT starter kit | Compact Wi-Fi board with 1–2 sensors and app link | Gr 8–10 |
| Advanced maker kit | Multi-sensor robotics with app-based control | Gr 9–12 |
| Instructor-light manual + QR video set | Bundled with every kit tier | All grades |
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.
Kit tiers matched to grade bands and budget
Day 1School or per-student ordering finalised
Day 2–5Kits, printed manuals and QR walkthroughs delivered
Day 6–10Optional one-time facilitator session to launch the kit
Week 2Kits reused as the spine of a weekend maker club
