Try the Carolina Curriculum Pilot Program
What’s the best way to learn about STC®, Building Blocks of Science™, Math Out of the Box®, or GEMS Kits®? Pilot a unit in your school or district!

Here’s how it works:
You select a unit kit(s) to try out in the classroom. You can pilot-teach up to 6 unitsone title per grade levelfrom the STC®, Building Blocks of Science™, Math Out of the Box®, or GEMS Kits® series. (To include more faculty in your pilot, purchase refurbishment sets for each kit and replace the consumed materials before passing the kit to the next teacher.)
You choose a lead teacher(s) to pilot the units; these educators then become your future trainers. After you choose a unit and sign our pilot agreement, a date to ship the kit(s) and a date for the pilot to end are determined.
Carolina ships the selected unit kit(s) to your school/district. Each kit provides the equipment and materials needed (except for a few items commonly found at home or school) for 4–8 weeks of instruction with one class of 30 students (32 students for GEMS Kits®).
At the end of the pilot, you can purchase one of the unit kits for 10% off the catalog price! If you choose not to purchase, simply ship back to Carolina Biological the non-consumable portion of the kit(s). (You pay the return shipping charge.)

What do you get in return?
The opportunity to try out an STC®, Building Blocks of Science™, Math Out of the Box®, or GEMS Kit® unit with no obligation.
Significant savings on STC®, Building Blocks of Science™, Math Out of the Box®, or GEMS Kit® units as you implement a hands-on science program. Most of the units can be re-used by purchasing a refurbishment set.
