InnoCrate

This project is dedicated to expanding the horizons of K-12 students about U.S. advanced manufacturing while equipping them with foundational knowledge for careers in composites, CNC machining, and metalcasting.

Making Science Accessible

InnoCrate STEM Composites and METAL kits make science accessible, exciting, and effortless for teachers—saving time while sparking innovation in classrooms. As schools prioritize reading and math, science education often takes a backseat, leaving teachers overwhelmed by the effort it takes to plan engaging, hands-on activities.  

That’s where InnoCrate comes in—saving teachers time and energy by doing the prep work for them.

Pre-packaged, ready-to-use STEM and METAL kits

Each InnoCrate kit introduces students to advanced manufacturing concepts—like composites, CNC machining, casting, and forging—through hands-on experiments designed for the classroom. Everything a teacher needs is included:

The result? Teachers can seamlessly deliver high-quality, standards-aligned lessons without sacrificing time or energy. Stored in the classroom and paced to match curriculum needs, InnoCrate kits ensure that teachers can focus on teaching while students engage in practical, real-world learning.

InnoCrate is designed to make teaching science as easy and effective as possible. Each kit comes complete with hands-on lessons that are:

InnoCrate ensures your students are exposed to high-quality, standards-based science lessons starting as early as kindergarten.

Encouraging Innovation

InnoCrate STEM Composites and METAL kits are a part of IACMI’s K-12 initiative dedicated to expanding the horizons of students while equipping them with essential skills for the growing field of advanced manufacturing. In an era of rapid technological advancement, the need for skilled workers in manufacturing is vital, and InnoCrate kits seek to bridge the gap by introducing advanced manufacturing careers in metallurgy and composites to students.

InnoCrate kits provide students the opportunity to explore, design, and innovate materials of the future!
