Last year, 12 schools from Germany and Ireland, as well as organizations like Teachers for Future, successfully applied and received our teaching materials free of charge. The feedback from teachers and students so far has been fantastic. We were particularly impressed by the use of our solar kit to power an electric piano .

We look forward to receiving your applications. Good luck!
