Be Groovy Like: Rudolph! - Elaine (Groovy Founder) A Lesson in Believing in Your Kids, and Yourself. I’ve always loved the story of Rudolph… A little different can have many meanings. As educators we’ve all had the different kid, the chip on shoulder, the jokester, the odd ball, the one left out.

@PopularMechanics editor in chief Ryan D'Agostino and his kids built this project using May's Groovy Lab in a Box that you can buy too. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say: "This month Groovy Lab in a Box - a fantastic educational company that mails shoe-box-size educational kits to kids, teaching them about science, technology, mathematics, and engineering—is releasing a special Popular Mechanics box featuring this project. Get yours at groovylabinabox.com. Sign up, and they'll send out a new box every month with a different theme. This month, they're releasing a special Popular Mechanics box, featuring the project on this page. Kids learn the properties of ice through hands-on experiments, and at the end they're challenged to create a lantern out of ice for an imaginary ice hotel! You could make this project without the box - but then you wouldn't get Groovy's excellent workbook, instructions, and supplies. An annual subscription costs just $24.95 per month and is much better than watching TV. Start one today—and get your Popular Mechanics box—at groovylabinabox.com".

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
