Students will design and build games with the Buzzer Games Classroom Kit. They will make entertaining and interactive games that strengthen fine motor skills, increase critical thinking capabilities, and introduce engineering and electronics. Screens are not required but are used for extension activities including physical and visual programming. Learn more about the kit here.

We also offer a Home Learning Kit for remote and home learning.

The Buzzer Games Kit includes instructions to learners started designing, building, and playing games. The open-ended projects provide a pathway for their imaginations to take them in new and exciting directions.

* Quiz Show (Beginner) - host your own quiz show by making a buzzer and creating question cards.

* Circuit Surgery (Intermediate) - design and build your own surgery table and remove parts stuck in your patient.
