The Science Set is the size of an average textbook, fitting easily into a school bag and on a school desk. It contains 45 different parts including circuit boards, wires, an electromagnet and mini lightbox to perform 26 experiments which are part of the primary and junior high school syllabus, enabling teachers and students to perform laboratory-grade experiments without the need for a physical laboratory. A manual with clear instructions is included.
A 2015 study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development showed that out of 76 countries, Ghana and South Africa ranked the lowest in science education. In many basic schools in Ghana, science experiments are not widely practiced due to a lack of materials. However, practical science experiments help to develop students' understanding of scientific concepts and promote scientific literacy. Science Set aims to solve the lack of practical science education in Africa and inspire learners to pursue science after school.
The kit is easy to use, quick to set up and designed to seamlessly integrate into the classroom. By 2024, 2,000 teachers had been trained on how to use Science Set effectively. Science Set is affordable, and in use by 20,000 students in 1,000 schools.
