What parents say

Parents rave that it is truly open and go, with nearly every experiment supply in the box, engaging books kids keep reading, and no busywork. The main criticisms are the high price per kit, a gentle level of rigor that science-minded kids may outgrow, no high school option, and occasional kit gaps like a basic microscope or household items you still supply.
