Edge Factor aligns with Kidder Kits to inspire career exploration.

 

Kidder and Edge Factor are partnering together to equip educators who have purchased Kidder’s hands-on projects and premium Edge Factor memberships with playlists of career exploration media and quizzes that align to specific Kidder Kits! After building a Kidder Kit, students can watch inspiring Edge Factor videos and complete quizzes to understand the industries and careers related to their Kidder Kit.

 

Kidder Mfg. Ltd. (Kidder Educational) is a Canadian Science & Technology, MakerSpace store and resource centre with over 40 years of experience working with teachers, educators and students to help bring science concepts to life through hands-on, project-based learning. With the right tools, components and resources, we believe that students will thrive in STEM education when given the opportunity to tinker and make things with their hands! Questions?

Using the power of storytelling, Edge Factor’s videos and activities inspire students to explore careers through online learning and virtual tours of companies, prepare them to enter the workforce with STEAM and Soft Skills, and connect with local training programs and careers.
