A classroom kit has a different job than a birthday gift. You need enough stations that a table of students can work at the same time, instructions that don’t fall apart after one period, and a project that still means something when the bell rings.
Some of the kits in our Science & STEM Kits collection are already written with that in mind. A few product pages mention classrooms, teachers or group leaders directly. Others are simply multi-packs — two, three or four complete kits in one box — which is often what a small group needs.
We don’t publish a school price list or a standing bulk discount on the site, and we won’t invent one here. If you want a quote for a class set, email support@biglybrothers.com, call us toll-free at 1-800-616-4969, or use the form on our Contact Us page. Tell us which kits you’re looking at, roughly how many students you need to serve, and when you need them. We’ll reply with what’s possible.
Bigly Brothers is a Canadian-owned company, based in Canada. You can see the full range on our Science & STEM kits page.
Start with the kits that already mention classrooms
Three listings in the collection name classrooms, teachers or a classroom table on the product page. Those are the fairest place to start.
The Fossil Dig Kit 3-Pack is three complete excavation kits. Each student (or pair) gets their own dig brick and uncovers a dinosaur fossil replica by chipping, brushing and digging. The page describes it as built for curious kids, birthday parties, classrooms and a rainy-day science table, and notes that a whole classroom table can dig side by side instead of waiting for one brick. That’s earth science you can hold: patience, careful tool use and a compare-your-finds conversation at the end. The listing includes 90-day returns and a 3-year warranty.
The 2-Pack Kids Science Lab Kit is two identical kits with 70 hands-on experiments each — fizzy volcano eruptions, colour-changing reactions, crystal growing and more — plus a step-by-step illustrated guide. The page says teachers and group leaders can run paired stations, and it recommends adult supervision. Plan for that: this is a guided lab, not an independent-work folder. The listing includes 90-day returns and a 3-year warranty.
The 12-in-1 solar robot building kit 4-pack is four complete kits. Each one rebuilds into a range of robot models and runs on sunlight, with no batteries needed. The page mentions classrooms and gift-giving, and says four identical kits are enough for siblings, a classroom table, or one builder who wants a fleet. That’s a clean fit for a lesson on solar energy and mechanical rebuilds: build it, take it to a sunny window or the schoolyard, watch it move, then rebuild it into the next model.
If those pack sizes don’t match your class, that’s exactly the kind of detail to put in a quote request. We can talk through ordering more than one multi-pack. We won’t promise a discount in this article that the website doesn’t already show.
Other kits teachers often look at (read the page before you plan a period)
Not every useful classroom kit uses the word “classroom” on the page. These are still worth knowing about, with the limits the listings actually give.
The Electronics Science Kit is listed for ages 5 to 12. Students snap 32 parts onto a base grid and work through 448-plus circuit projects, with no soldering and no extra tools. The illustrated manual walks through series and parallel circuits, lights, sounds, a mini vacuum, an RGB module and flying-saucer accessories. One kit is one station. If you need a full table, you’ll need more than one.
The 5-in-1 STEM Remote Control Robot Building Kit is listed for ages 8 to 13. It has 494 pieces and rebuilds into five robot forms. Students can drive the finished robot with a 2.4 GHz remote or program moves in a smartphone app. The listing describes a 400 mAh rechargeable battery and about 40 minutes of play. This is a longer build than a single science period, so it works better as a multi-day club, a family-of-schools challenge or a station that a small group returns to.
For older students and maker clubs, the solderless breadboard kit, the 1390-piece electronic components kit and the Maker Workbench Trio Bundle stock a bench rather than run a single demo. The mini development board 4-pack and the dual-core WiFi and Bluetooth development board (Arduino IDE support, USB-C) are student electronics parts. They don’t list an age. The 60W soldering iron kit heats to an adjustable temperature up to 450°C — treat that as a supervised secondary-shop or club tool, not an elementary centre.
The Ultimate Teen Arduino Maker Kit combines an electronics project components kit, a soldering station and a digital multimeter. The page says it ships from Surrey, BC in 2 business days. The Raspberry Maker Kit for Teens pairs a project kit with a workbench station and states that the Raspberry Pi board is not included. The listing includes 90-day returns and a 3-year warranty.
The 90mm astronomy refractor telescope is listed for adults and beginners, with views of the Moon’s craters and seas, birdwatching and night-sky exploring. It’s a better fit for an evening astronomy club or a family science night than for a Grade 4 desk.
If you need help matching a kit to an age band rather than to a class size, we wrote how to choose the right STEM kit by age.
Practical planning tips (the unglamorous part that saves a period)
Count stations, not just students. A 2-pack, 3-pack or 4-pack is only as useful as the way you group kids. Two students per fossil brick or solar robot is different from one kit passed around a class of 28. Decide the grouping first, then the quantity.
Read the supervision line. The science lab recommends adult supervision. Soldering kits get hot. Robotics with a phone app means someone has to decide whether student devices are allowed that period.
Check what “complete kit” means. The fossil, science lab and solar robot multi-packs are complete kits in one box. The Raspberry maker kit does not include a Raspberry Pi board. Development boards are boards, not full lesson plans.
Think about storage and reuse. Labelled component boxes and breadboards survive a semester of open shelves better than a single-use experiment, but a fossil brick is a one-time excavation. Mix a reusable circuit station with a once-a-year dig if you need both.
Match the kit to the outcome, not the buzzword. Fossils support earth science and careful observation. The science lab supports reactions, measurement and following a procedure. Snap circuits support series and parallel circuits. Solar robots support energy and mechanical redesign. The robot kit supports engineering design plus, if you want it, an introduction to coding through the app.
Leave time for the “it worked” moment. The solar robots need sunlight. The telescope is a night-sky instrument. The robot’s listing gives about 40 minutes of play on a charge. Build that into the lesson so the period doesn’t end while students are still tightening the last piece.

How to ask us for a bulk quote
Email support@biglybrothers.com, call 1-800-616-4969, or write through Contact Us. A note that’s easy to answer usually includes:
- The school or program name and city
- Which kits you’re considering (links are helpful)
- How many students or stations you need to cover
- Whether this is one class, a grade team, a club or a board-level order
- The week you need the kits in hand
- Any questions the product page didn’t answer
We can’t promise school pricing, purchase-order terms or a discount in advance of that conversation. What we can do is look at the request and tell you what’s possible.
The same contact details are the right route if you’re ordering for a homeschool co-op, a library program or an after-school club rather than a classroom. The kits don’t change; the station count still does.
FAQ
Do you offer a teachers’ discount or school pricing? Not as a published rate on the website. Contact us with the kits and quantities you need and ask for a quote. We won’t invent terms here that we haven’t confirmed with you.
Can I pay with a purchase order? Ask when you write. Purchase-order terms are not listed on the STEM product pages, so we won’t claim them in this article.
Which kit is best for a whole class to use at once? Look first at the multi-packs that mention classrooms: the fossil dig 3-pack, the science lab 2-pack and the solar robot 4-pack. For a larger class you’ll likely need more than one box. The electronics kit and the 5-in-1 robot are one station per kit.
Do the kits ship from Canada? Yes. Bigly Brothers is a Canadian-owned company based in Canada, and shipping is free on orders delivered within Canada. Most orders arrive in 2–4 business days after they ship; remote and rural addresses can take a little longer. The Arduino maker kit and the 90 mm telescope listings also say they ship from Surrey, BC in 2 business days. Include your needed-by date when you request a quote.
Non-projector items, including these STEM kits, have 90-day returns and a 3-year warranty.
