Educational materials
Each set of physical kits are accompanied by all the digital materials to deliver an impactful session. This includes repair guides with integrated worksheets, STEM videos, and extension activities.
-
Lesson planning materials
Kits come complete with lesson plans, training materials, FAQ and troubleshooting sheets, and demo videos to make repair education as easy as possible to deliver.
Rented, returned, and reused ♻️
Our kits are yours to borrow, rather than keep. Once your class or group has completed the repair activity, we arrange a free courier collection and the kits are rebroken and reused to teach the next class of repairers. That's fewer gadgets in landfill, and more kids taught a lifelong skill.

What really stood out was how it taught students the value of repairing electrical gadgets instead of throwing them away, helping them understand how they can actively reduce e-waste. It also gave them the confidence to try fixing things themselves – one student was so inspired, he brought in his repaired Game Boy to proudly show me!

It's a brilliant experience and the cultural capital and sense of pride our pupils gained is invaluable. It allowed some of them to use a screwdriver for the first time and truly understand resilience in a tangible way. It really brought a sense of buzz around STEM club and children were looking forward to it each week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the kits differ for different age groups?
Our kits have been designed for children aged 10-14. Having tested it with hundreds of children in this age bracket, we’ve found that the practical skill of repair is enjoyed by all, and something that most children, even the older ones, have never tried before! We do tailor the complexity of the science content accompanying each kit to the age group though, to keep it challenging but doable for everyone.
How long does it take for a class to complete a kit?
The core repair has been designed to be around 1-2 hours long, with up to 2 hours of extension activities. However, this can be tailored to your school/group’s need, and can be lengthened or shortened by adjusting the different activities that are within the session.
Is this available internationally?
Our classroom kits are not yet available outside of the UK. We are working hard to make this happen as soon as possible, so sign up to our educators mailing list to stay up to date!
Can the topics in kits be tailored to my lessons?
Our kits are aligned with the British upper KS2/KS3 science curriculum, covering a variety of topics. Let us know what topics you are looking to teach and we will inform you which kit is most suitable.
Do the kits need to be returned?
Yes! All kits are returned to us after use so that we can re-break them for another class to use. They must be serviced by a member of our team to ensure quality assurance and safety of the gadgets. The return packaging and postage label is all included with the kits.
Does the session leader / teacher need any prior knowledge of repair?
No prior knowledge is required from the session leader! We provide training videos and a practice kit for you to get ready for the session. We will also provide lesson plans, worksheets, extension activities, and step-by-step instructions to help you lead the session.
I would love to take part, but my school/organisation does not have the budget.
We can provide letters of support and advice for grant funding applications. We also sometimes have funding for specific regions in the UK. Get in touch at edu@team.repair and let’s talk!
