NASA Beginning Engineering, Science and Technology (BEST) Students Kit

The NASA’s Beginning Engineering, Science and Technology (BEST) Students Kit was designed to accompany the NASA BEST Students Educator guides, an afterschool engineering club curriculum for students in grade K to 2, 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 (www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/best/index.html).

For those educators who just don’t have enough time to find all the materials to use for the engineering activities or just want to be one step ahead of the game, this kit was designed with you in mind. Kit includes almost all material needed to successfully complete all activities within the educator guide for a group of 20 students.
