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.
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.
Lesson preparation was very easy to implement with the Forward Education Lessons and Resources course library.
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.
So amazing at integration with NGSS Science standards and technology. A great way to build on what students already know with Micro:Bits.
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.

Coding for Good Kit
Product Description
The Coding for Good Kit is the successor to the popular Climate Action Kit first released in 2022. The new Coding for Good Kit is built on the same micro:bit powered hardware, building blocks, and learning platform, but now features a series of new sensors and parts that unlock new project and coding possibilities.
Like the Climate Action Kit, it is an open-ended toolkit with lessons and projects that align with State Standards across settings, subjects, and grade levels. But, with more building blocks and new smart modules, motors, and AI-ready sensors, it expands our plug-and-play ecosystem to address a wider range of global challenges from climate and conservation to health, safety, accessibility, and community innovation. Plus, with built-in pathways to train and use AI models, projects behave even more like the technologies shaping our world and keep pace with the rapid pace of innovation.
What's Included:
- Coding for Good Coding & Robotics Kit (see Kit Contents tab for details)
- Access to the Forward Education Learning Platform with dozens of curriculum-aligned lessons, step-by-step projects, tutorials, educator courses & resources, and more!
- Cross-compatible components that work with the other Forward Education products
- Backwards compatibility with all Climate Action Kit Lessons
