Testimonials
“I’ve observed Mosa Mack used in class. Students are problem-solving, engaged, and collaborating: this is what science instruction should look like.”
"Mosa Mack embodies the idea of doing science as opposed to hearing about it. This is exciting."
“I can see how, when teachers use this, it helps them hone their craft. You’ve thought of everything. Content is one thing, but pedagogy is another— Mosa Mack has both.”
“I look for three things when considering new materials: Easy to implement, easy to learn, outcomes for kids. Mosa Mack has all three!”
“[Mosa Mack] reminds me of me because I am curious.”
“After the video, my kids began having high-level problem-solving conversations on their own.”
