The Difference

Open the Box. Hand Them Out. Start Teaching.

Our Grab and Go activities arrive ready to use. We believe teachers should spend their time teaching, not prepping.

A teacher and students opening a Central Creativity kit and handing out the individually packaged activities.
  • Nothing to prepare. Every material is pre-measured, labeled, and packaged.
  • Nothing else to buy. Everything is included except water.
  • Works wherever they are. The same experience runs in a classroom, at a camp, or at home.

“Best kits ever! I will definitely be buying more kits like this one! What do teachers not have enough of? Time!! This saved me having to spend hours planning!!”Katherine W., Teacher

Grab and Go Learning

Every kit is built on our Framework for Learning. We design everything in-house, manufacture on professional equipment, and ship directly from our facility.

The thinking behind the box

Your Learning. Your Way.

Our focus is on serving diverse student backgrounds, reducing barriers for learning, and promoting environments where students can gain knowledge and be successful.

Learn more about our Philosophy of Learning

A young girl in safety goggles cheers with both fists raised while a smiling educator beside her holds up a bottle of bubbling liquid.

Approachable

Easy, flexible, and convenient to implement β€” the cornerstone of everything we do. Our Grab and Go format means no preparation time, and because learning is not one-size-fits-all, teachers run activities on their own schedule.

A student assembles a build-your-own drone at a classroom lab table, with the open kit box, illustrated instruction booklet, laser-cut parts and sealed component bags all laid out in front of him.

Equitable

Everyone knows about the digital divide, but there is an even larger divide that impacts equitable learning: the resource divide. This divide is not only found in our homes, but our classrooms as well β€” and a resource that is missing at the moment instruction happens is exactly where learning breaks.

So we send every single thing the activity needs. Everything except the water. No student falls behind because a tool was not on the table, and no outcome is decided by what a room happened to have.

Affordable

The price must allow for a sustainable investment compared with other learning models. Solutions that fit every need and every budget β€” district rollouts and single-classroom orders alike.

Engaging

Students must be reached the way they want to be reached. Learning should be a fun, informative experience that captivates β€” and lets students connect with the content in meaningful ways.

A younger student and an older student sit at the same classroom table building a snap-circuit project together, each working from the same kit.

Differentiated

Every learner must be reached in every experience. All our activities carry both scaffolding and rigor, so they meet students across the full range of ability levels.

Workforce Is a Language. We Start Teaching It in Kindergarten .

Career awareness should start in elementary school, not high school. That is why our products connect learning to real-world careers and workforce skills.

Every Experience We Build Points Toward a Career .

We believe the role of education is to help learners make a successful transition into careers of their own. So career discovery and CTE connections are designed into every project we build β€” our own product lines and the programs we build for partners alike. Each one maps to the National Career Clusters Framework, so the pathway stays legible from a Kindergarten classroom to a first job.

We took our 3rd graders on a field trip today! The kids LOVED it! They learned the science behind slime and bath bombs and were able to make some to bring home. We did VR, played with coding and robots, and a few other things. They were very organized, friendly, and accommodating! I would definitely recommend this field trip!!
