STEM Kits by Post
Stem Kits by Post sends a monthly box of experimentation to your letterbox.
Our service is ideal for anyone interested in the STEM subjects and can be of great benefit to those who are home-schooled or attend a school without the resources to offer hands-on scientific practicals. We link to 9-1 GCSE subjects in the Sciences, Maths, Engineering and Computer Studies.
A different random kit is sent to you each month.
A growing number of schools no longer have the facilities to run in-house STEM-based practical lessons. STEM kits by Post offers a way for students, or anyone else fascinated by the scientific world, to have fun learning about Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects through experimentation at home with a different, random kit containing everything you need to learn about a specific subject area delivered direct to their door each month. STEM Kits by Post is aimed mainly at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students, but can be used by anyone with an interest in Science.
Our kits are also ideal for home schooled teenagers or anyone of any age interested in science, technology and engineering subjects.

Our ‘Learn about Colour” Kit
In this STEM kit we learn about Colour and Wavelength.
We all see colour differently – colour is what the eyes tell our brain they have seen when light is reflected off an object.
We define “colours” as they part of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum we can see with human eyes. The EM spectrum covers everything from radio waves to x rays, and we will learn where in the overall spectrum the thing we know as “colour” fits.
Remember – you get a different random kit every month (not necessarily this one!)
Kit Contents:
In this particular kit, you get:
- Instructions
- Diffraction Grating
- Mini-Prism
- Battery holder and 2 AA batteries
- 3 way connector
- Coloured gel filters
- Back card base
- Black card light box (flattened)
- Laser LED, UV LED. IR LED in separate bags
- Bag containing various coloured LED, resistor and super-bright white LED
Experiments Included:
We learn about these subjects through experimentation:
- How the colour we see is defined by the wavelengths being given out by light sources
- The difference between continuous and non-continuous spectrums
- How we can split light into its constituent wavelengths using prisms and diffraction gratings
- How different light sources give off a different spectrum
- About Infra-Red, Ultra-Violet and LASER light sources – all three are included in this kit, together with ultra-white and other coloured LEDs.
All our boxes are different
All our experiment kits include everything you need to carry-out 3-4 hours of experimentation on one or more subjects, guided by comprehensive instructions allowing you to learn as you have fun.
The subjects covered are linked to the 9-1 GCSE syllabus areas in Science, Maths, Engineering and Computer Studies.

Who’s it for?
Information
Students
Many students appreciate that they need laboratory/practical experimentation experience to get the best marks in KS3, KS4, and 9-1 GCSE Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects, but many schools no longer have the facilities to provide these. STEM Kits by POST allows you to experiment, working at your own pace, learning as you go, in a fun but guided way.
Parents
Why not consider a subscription as a Birthday or Christmas present, or just to supplement school KS3/KS4 or GCSE studies.
Students will have loads of fun whilst learning through fully-guided experimentation – a present that will last a lifetime!
Our kits are also ideal for home educated pupils.
Schools
Schools wishing to run Science practicals using our guided kits (even without the need for a subject-specialist teacher) can buy specific TEACH kits in bulk, giving classrooms of pupils everything they need to work independently or in small groups. All our kits are designed around the new 9-1 GCSE Syllabus Learning Objectives. We also supply CLUB kits providing you with everything you need to run an after-school STEM/Electronics club.
PTAs
School PTAs and other clubs can earn commission on every experiment box we send out ordered by someone quoting your unique discount code.
