If you need a little extra something to make your curriculum pop, try one of our education kits. The kits have suggested curriculum you can use, but the really exciting part is all of the hands-on items you can use to demonstrate topics to your class. Kits include items like copies of primary resource documents from events in Alaska's gold rush history, supplies and materials needed to conduct demonstrations on how the land bridge flooded, tools for students to use like bird beaks to discover how different birds obtain different foods, skulls, skins, games and more.

These kits are for loan to teachers and other educators in Northwest Alaska for free! Take a look at the list of education kits available.

Don't see what you need? Let us know new kits are currently in production.

If you live outside Northwest Alaska please call to see if we can somehow accommodate your needs, 1800471-2352 or (907) 443-2522.
