What Are People Saying About Bugs?

"Amazing activity. This is the highlight of the school year and the best of my science classroom. We absolutely love bugs. Thanks!!!"
Anonymous

"The Catch a Bug activity is absolutely the best resource for teaching electronics in today's classroom for both male and female students! An ideal activity to keep students focused and engaged in learning."
Lola Whitworth
Westminster Middle School

"The Bug makes the electronics projects I previously used look like arts and craft activities. My students get so much more out of the Bug project. It's incredibly affordable... it could sell for four times the price, especially with the documents."
Bruce Bower
Preston High School

"The Catch The Bug activity provides the structure for every one of my students to succeed. The activities are differentiated so a 7th grades or college student can be equally challenged—I know this because my college son loved it just as much as my middle school students."
Maggie Jensen
Edison Middle School
