We purchased 6 of these kits for our STEM camp. The materials and curriculum were a HUGE hit! I highly recommend... The cameras and software are super easy to implement and allow students to let their creativity flow without struggling with Technology. Just make sure your devices have USB ports and run on windows or osx... sadly, these do not seem to work on chromebooks.
We work hard to design each program to keep learners engaged and having fun, so we’re excited to hear that you guys had a great experience with Claymation! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Love the student interaction and excitement in students eyes
Claymation brings in creativity of students.
easy to understand / kids get it
