• All kits are placed in the warehouse at Headquarters. All computer kits are placed together, as well as tablet kits, and science kits.
• All kits should be kept in a clean and orderly fashion.
• Each kit has a label on the side with a list of its contents.
• Kits should ALWAYS! be checked: before leaving the office, as well as 30 minutes before your class begins, and again when returning from a class or at the end of the day. 
• If items are missing please inform the warehouse manager or any supervisor so they can help you get them stocked 
• Any broken equipment will need to have a RED TAG and a description of the issue placed on the kit. Please make sure to move it to the repair shelf and log the issue in the Database.
•  During summer many camps will have the equipment delivered to the site each week. It is the instructor’s responsibility to check the schedule and equipment each day to ensure they have the proper gear to run their classes successfully. If you find that you are missing equipment or items for the class contact the Program Manager or manager on duty immediately for assistance. It is a good practice to check your equipment the day before to avoid any rushed issues. 

Most equipment is pulled and staged for your class, however,  you are responsible for checking all of your equipment prior to departure or the start of your class. Ensure that consumables kit supplies are topped off and electronic devices (Robots, tablets, batteries, etc) are fully charged. Instructors MUST check their lesson schedule equipment list for all items needed 30 minutes before class starts. For STEM4SCHOOLS, the Site Lead is responsible for all equipment and needs to communicate with the Program manager any changes to the schedule or Warehouse supervisor with equipment issues. Site leads are also expected to make sure all the equipment on their pull list makes it to the school and back to the office. If you are running a 3D printing or laser cutting class make sure to grab your class prints. Do not stack bins more than 3 high. (Computer kits are 4 bins and are the only exception to the “3 high” rule.) Take multiple trips if needed.

Each full computer kit contains 4 bins and one router that are organized by letters of the alphabet. For example, the computer kits labeled A1, A2, A3, and A4 contain 26 computers (one used by the teacher called the Teacher Computer and 25 that are used by students), a router, 26 mice, and 5 chargie boxes total. A1 contains 6 computers (1 teacher computer and 5 student computers) and a charging box, A2 contains 10 student computers and a charging box, A3 contains 10 student computers and a charging box, and A4 contains 2 charging boxes and 2 mice boxes. All computer kits are organized the same way but are labeled with different letters.

.

All tablet kits contain 25 tablets, 2 charging boxes, a projector kit, and a teacher computer kit.  

Science classes have kits and equipment that are consumable dependant, meaning that the kits have iteams that the students will use and often take home. Therefore it is IMPORTANT to check that you have sufficient supplies to accommodate your lessons and class student count. Other science classes rely on equipment and machinery, such as the Van de Graaff generator and Air Pressure vacuum, make sure you are confident in how the machines work before teaching your lessons. Everything should be covered in Training however it is important to always check your lessons and equipment prior to the day you teach in case you need to resupply your equipment or need additional review/training on how a particular machine operates. Additionally, because science classes do not use computer kits, instructors will need to bring a projector with them to class. These projectors have the Science lessons and corresponding slideshows downloaded to memory. They are required for STEM 4 SCHOOL programs as well as Afterschool programs. Always check the projector kit before leaving the office to account for the necessary components(i.e.: USB, Remote, Power Supply).

Tech classes can involve computers, tablets, robotics, and or small electronic accessories. It is important to check your battery life on all necessary devices being used for that day at least 30 minutes before your class starts and always charge devices at the end of the day if it will be used for the next day. MAKE SURE TO NOT OVERCHARGE the equipment. Tech classes involve delicate and expensive equipment so the utmost care should be taken when handling the class equipment. Make sure you have all the necessary charging cables for your specific devices. Everything should be covered in Training however it is important to always check your lessons and equipment prior to the day you teach in case you need to resupply your equipment or need additional review/training on how a particular machine operates.

Engineering classes can involve Building Block systems,  robotics, and or small electronic accessories. It is important to check your battery life on all necessary devices being used for that day at least 30 minutes before your class starts and always charge devices at the end of the day that will be used for the next day.  Engineering classes will also involve building materials. Often lego, lego technic, and or simple machines(Ex. Catapult). Make sure you have adequate supplies for your lessons and student participation.  Everything should be covered in Training however it is important to always check your lessons and equipment prior to the day you teach in case you need to resupply your equipment or need additional review/training on how a particular machine operates.

• Check your schedule and review the lesson for the day along with corresponding equipment/ supplies
• Check your equipment/ supplies inventory 30minutes before your class starts. During the summer session check the day before.
• Set up all your equipment before class starts, keep student accessibility and saftey in mind.
• Check the battery life on all electronic devices before your class.
• Charge all necessary electronic devices at the end of the day that will be needed for the next day. DO NOT OVER CHARGE. if you have questions on charging times contact the warehouse supervisor or your direct manager. 
• Any missing or broken items should be immediately reported.
• Email “[email protected]” with any supply and/or repair requests or if it is an emergency contact your manager on duty through text or phone call.
