Customer Testimonials

The lesson was so easy to prepare! We loved the real world connection to UN goals and seeing the video of women in Africa who are selling solar powered items as a business.

Sarah Johnson

Marketing Director

The ForwardEdu lesson plans have helped us create meaningful inquiry units with students of a variety of ages. We use the Climate Action Kits as our main resource when delivering STEM content.

Mr. Poluk

Technology Coordinator

Lesson preparation was very easy to implement with the Forward Education Lessons and Resources course library.

Mr. Carron

Secondary Curriculum Consultant

The layout of resources, simple links with simple steps. Having everything ready for teachers to use and reference saves our staff a lot of time and really motivates teachers to use the kits.

Ms. Vandeligt

Supervisor of Technology Services

So amazing at integration with NGSS Science standards and technology. A great way to build on what students already know with Micro:Bits.

Ms. Cannon

Teacher

It gets students thinking outside the box. I can teach them or they can work through it on their own. The delivery is very flexible due to how detailed the kit and lessons are.
