BOSON Science Design Kit

The BOSON Science Design Kit is a coding-free STEM exploration kit designed for children aged 8 to 10, educators, and young makers. It combines physical science investigation with hands-on engineering design across twelve guided lessons. Students learn fundamental scientific principles by building interactive inventions without writing software.

Hands-on scientific exploration

The kit includes seven scientific experiments exploring energy transfer, seasonal changes, and environmental conditions. Students use digital modules such as the temperature and light sensors to gather data and understand how natural phenomena work.

Practical engineering projects

Learners tackle five practical design challenges, including building a solar oven, an automatic plant fill light, and a fridge door-closing reminder. These projects teach students to combine inputs, logic modules, and actuators to solve everyday problems.

NGSS-aligned curriculum structure

The 12-lesson tutorial aligns with NGSS curriculum standards across Physical Science, Earth and Space Science, Life Science, and Engineering Design. Each lesson provides structured, step-by-step guidance suitable for classroom labs or home learning.

Plug-and-play modular hardware

The kit includes digital sensors for temperature, soil moisture, and light, paired with output modules including a fan, buzzer, display, and ultra-bright LED. Hardware logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) and a threshold module allow students to create interactive circuits without a computer.

Package contents and specifications

Housed in a 60 x 220 x 300 mm package weighing 990 g, the kit includes a Mainboard-1IO, a 3xAAA battery holder, and a micro USB cable. It also comes with 20 connecting cables in various lengths, as well as screws and Velcro packs for building prototypes.
