Good to know

Bundles and subscriptions

Bundles arrive all at once. With a prepaid subscription, we can ship several kits together at the start, so every kit arrives within the school year. The rest follow monthly.

Shipping and tax

Shipping is free, so it can be left off the purchase order. Sales tax, where it applies, is confirmed when your school places the order.

Vendor paperwork

Schools often ask for a W-9 before adding a new vendor. Download our W-9 (PDF).

Teaching materials

Lesson plans and curriculum resources are free with your kits. See teaching resources.
