Hear What Other Education Professionals Are Saying About Moti-Lab
“We think Moti-Lab is brilliant. We have children from nursery to Y6 and there is potential for them all to learn from it, it will support our STEM teaching brilliantly. We are very impressed!”
– Mrs Fox, Headteacher, Woodseats Primary
“Moti-Lab would be an invaluable resource in any early years setting, it is a stimulating, accessible and open ended resource. Moti-Lab fosters all the Characteristics of Effective Learning in the EYFS.”
– S Westwood, Early Years Team Leader, Action for Children
“OK… I had the fortune to spend the day with Richard and his Moti-Lab today alongside our Year 1s and 2s. I didn’t really understand it until watching our children work with it today – and having done so I have to say it is a blooming fantastic platform. Brings real meaning to the term ‘interactive whiteboard’. It’s a brilliant context for supporting science and STEM learning but moreover it’s simply an excellent teaching and learning resource per se. I reckon if I was in charge I’d be sticking this in schools alongside pencils and paper (and hand lenses). Highly recommend!
– Mr T Tyler, PSTT Fellow and Science Lead, Stockport
