As a volunteer educator teaching several STEM classes over the past several years, I have found the Mand Labs KIT-1 STEM Electronics Kit to be my favorite resource. In my nearly four decades of US Air Force service, I spent most of my career in teaching roles such as instructor pilot, flight training academics instructor, and curriculum standards branch chief for flight test instruction. In those roles I learned we humans can be very different from one another when it comes to our preferred styles of learning, and I am very pleased that the Mand Labs approach keeps that in mind. In other words, this resource features an excellent mix of hands-on engagement, text-based instruction, hard copy graphics, videos, attention steps, experiments, humor, practical application ideas, aesthetics, and more. It is readily self-paced. All of this in combination means nearly any type of student will find aspects that are a good fit with his or her learning style!
I just recently signed up for the Mand Labs Academy, and I’m very motivated about furthering my own development as a learner. There’s much more by which I’ve been impressed, but I’ll close by saying Mand's customer service and tech support have been extraordinary and, in my opinion, say a lot about where this excellent company is going.
