• 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. 
• Any missing or broken items should be immediately reported. 
• Email “[email protected]” with any supply and/or repair requests.

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 those devices 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 to communicate with the equipment manager any changes to the schedule or equipment issues. Site leads are also expected to make sure all their 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.

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

All phone kits contain 12 phones and 12 USB cables

Science classes have kits and equipment that are consumable dependant. 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, 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, becuase 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, phones, robotics, drones, 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 start and always charge devices at the end of the day that will be used for the next day. Tech classes involve delicate and expensive equipment so the utmost care should be taken when handling the classes equipment. Make sure you have all the necessary charging and download 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.

Engineer classes can involve computers, tablets, phones, robotics, drones, 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 start and always charge devices at the end of the day that will be used for the next day. Engineering classes involve delicate and expensive equipment so the utmost care should be taken when handling the classes equipment. Make sure you have all the necessary charging and download cables for your specific devices.

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 lesson for the day and corresponding equipment/ supplies
• Check your equipment/ supplies inventory 30minutes before your class starts.
• Set up all your equipment before class starts, keep student accessibility in mind.
• Check the battery life on all electronic devices 30minutes before your class.
• Charge all necessary electronic devices at the end of the day that will be needed for the next day.
• Any missing or broken items should be immediately reported.
• Email “[email protected]” with any supply and/or repair requests.
