For families - parents & grandparents

FAQs by Parents, grandparents, homeschool families - buying for home use, gifts, or family bonding / group activity.
1) My child is too much on a screen. Do you have something hands-on where they actually create something and learn?

That is exactly what Inspirely kits are built for. Inspirely kits are authenticated by STEM.org and patent-protected DIY wooden building project.

Follow the included instructions to assemble and test a working wooden project. Build time and available video resources vary by kit, so choose a project that fits your child and the time you have together.

Inspirely kits have received the Best in STEM award from STEM.org. Options are available for ages 6 and up; check the age guidance for the particular kit you choose.

2) I'm a parent of two twins in Grade 6 and I want them to start identifying what they genuinely enjoy - so they can choose the right subjects, explore opportunities beyond school, and build a university and career path that actually fits who they are.

Can Inspirely help?

Most children reach high school subject selection without ever having been exposed to what the subjects actually lead to. They pick based on what their friends choose, what seems safe, or what a guidance counsellor suggests in a 20-minute appointment.

By the time they reach university, many are studying something they chose by default - not by design.

The Discover Your Passion workshop Series exists to close that gap before it opens.

Each live 1.5-hour session places your child inside a real career field - AI and machine learning, aerospace, engineering, entrepreneurship, medical science, content creation, finance, and more. Not a lecture about the field. An experience of it.

Discover Your Passion is a live online career-exploration workshop series for students in Grades 5–10. Each workshop includes a 90-minute Zoom session, an individual assignment, interest reflection and a separate 60-minute follow-up session.

Grade 6 is the perfect entry point. The earlier they explore, the more runway they have to act on what they discover.

3) I'm looking for a birthday gift that's actually educational and impressive. What do you recommend for a 9-year-old?

For a 9-year-old (Grade 4), we recommend the Basketball Catapult or Hydraulic Bridge.

Inspirely is a member of the Canada Gift Association. Choose a working wooden project your child can build, test and keep. Check the product page for battery requirements.

4) I'm a grandparent and want to do something meaningful with my grandchild next visit. Do your kits work for that?

Assembly components and instructions are included. Age guidance, build time, battery requirements and available video or teaching resources vary by project. Check the selected kit page for any tools, batteries or painting supplies you will need separately.

5) My kids are 7 and 11. Can they both use Inspirely kits?

For a younger beginner, consider the Basketball Catapult Easy and check its age guidance. For an older child, compare the project requirements and support needed before choosing a kit.

For your 11-year-old (Grade 6): the Ferris Wheel or ultimate Hydraulic Bridge are the right challenge.

Every product page clearly shows the recommended age and grade so you always pick the right fit.

6) Do the kits come with instructions? My 7-year-old would be building mostly on their own.

Kits include assembly instructions. Available video resources, lesson plans and rubrics vary by project and are listed on the relevant kit page. An adult should be available to help when needed.

For Schools, teachers & parent councils

FAQs by Elementary and middle school teachers, principals, school council members, school board procurement
1) I'm an elementary teacher looking for a hands-on STEM activity that fits one class period, is curriculum-aligned, and needs minimum prep. What do you recommend?

Assembly components and instructions are included. Age guidance, build time, battery requirements and available video or teaching resources vary by project. Check the selected kit page for any tools, batteries or painting supplies you will need separately.

Online:Lower cost per student, no logistics burden on school staff, accessible from any location.


In-person:Some schools find in-person more effective for student engagement and interactivity. We come to your school and run the full session.

Our advice: choose based on your expected outcome. Both formats areSTEM.org Accreditedand ideal for STEM week, science fair, career day, extended curriculum activities, and parent engagement events.

6) We've tried STEM programs before and kids weren't engaged. What makes Inspirely different?

Two things change the engagement dynamic with Inspirely.

Students can build, test and explain a working model. Choose an appropriate project and plan the session around its instructions, available resources and the support your group needs.

Second: these kits are designed by students - co-founder Jay Tailor was in Grade 8 when he created the first kit. He knows what actually resonates because he lived it recently. That peer mentorship is different - students respond to it in a way they don't respond to adult-designed programs.

All experiential learning kits from Inspirely are authenticated by third party STEM.org - proving they have proven educational value and challenges.

7) What school boards and organizations does Inspirely work with?

Inspirely is a fundraising preferred vendor of Simcoe County District School Board in Ontario.
