Testimonials

The Seibun kits that I have shared with youngsters are most impressive. They're thoughtful, well constructed, and certainly lend themselves to a more positive and less intimidating view of science-something vitally needed. I wish I had these when I was back in school!

Paul G. Hewitt, Author of Conceptual Physics

We see a great potential for these kits to also be used to teach concepts on electromagnetic theory, motors and generators and many other topics. The NSES also stress that inquiry learning should be a part of all science curricula. These cars have tremendous potential for investigating a host of relationships ( from the elementary level to high school and first year college)

Paul G. Hewitt is the author of Conceptual Physics and other textbooks, translated in 9 languages. He was awarded the prestigious Millikan Prize by the American Assoc of Physics Teachers in 1982 for his contributions to physics teaching. In 1999 he was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Exploratorium in San Francisco.

"My children keep assembling and disassembling the Seibun Kits. They love all of the different experiments. Kids keep playing and learning day after day after day. There's different levels and kits for all ages."
- Leslie M. (Mother, Teacher, Cal.)

" As a parent, I don't know much about science. BUT...It was fascinating (and very moving) to have my children explain experiments to each other! They were so enthused in their newly acquired science knowledge! They even were 'brave' enough to show ME how things work! It was fascinating to see how Seibun Mind Development kits made all of us appreciate rather interesting science concepts." - F.D. ( Manager, former educator, NY)

" My child found out about Seibun during a summer program. For the first time, this otherwise 'science-shy' kid actually got interested in science...Science grades improved greatly "  - Dr. Cooper ( M.D., FL)

"As a teacher I have not seen students absorb so much science in so short a time."- Nancy K. (Teacher, California)

"I consider myself a hard-working teacher. Seibun Mind Development made teaching science a joy. For the first time, each of my students were able to MASTER complex science concepts that were previously eluding many of them. Now I feel I can share important knowledge with the entire class! No one was left behind. Our Principal witnessed the results. - V.R (Teacher, California)

"My child got an 'A' for her science project using Seibun Mind Development. The local paper took photos. - Tony X. (Proud Parent, Cal.) 

"You made my teaching easier. The children are actually teaching themselves. Your Seibun kits for Mind Development came in handy...I am very busy and let the students experiment, then record their observations. When grading them, I noticed significant improvements. - Tom M.  (Science Ed. IL.) 

"Science made interesting and fun. I will be speaking to our district about this." K.Allen (Network Engineer, California)

Constantly Evolving Products!



New (2001) Solar Seibun product on 'Lava ride' in Hawaiian crater. (Photo: courtesy Unversity of Hawaii, Space Grant Project. Universities, schools and other organizations use Seibun products to teach future Teachers about hands-on science, run science camps for children and also adults, research new teaching methods etc.).

From one Teacher to Another.

Science Adventures has been offering science enrichment programs in elementary education for fifteen years. We are committed to providing hands-on activities that not only provide a springboard for inquiry-based learning, but also excite the students' imaginations. As Director of Development I am continually looking for high quality products that meet our exacting standards.

Seibun Educational was an exciting discovery. Our two organizations have been doing business for the last 12 months. Their product line is unique and innovative. In the world of elementary science education I am used to seeing endless variations on a theme. It is a breath of fresh air to find a company that has a different approach to providing hands-on, minds-on products. More click here.


Science Teacher of the Year 
(1999, California, USA)

I have recently been introduced to the Seibun products used to help teach 
science and physics concepts. The engineering design of the products shows a well-thought out design, easy to use, understand and build for use in classrooms by a wide range of students. The concepts behind the products is solid. In fact, many of the kits cover a wide range of concepts. The kits cover concepts from simple to complex. The lessons now accompanying many of the kits allow teachers with little to no experience to use the kits with students to build and enhance student understanding of science. The Seibun kits are beneficial to all
the students using them. It does not matter if the students are young elementary students or seniors in an AP Physics class. The hands-on experience of building the using the creation to test, discover and demonstrate science concepts enhances the learning of all the students and teachers using the kits. More click here.

University Of Northern IOWA

We see a great potential for these cars to also be used at the secondary school level to teach more advanced concepts on electromagnetic theory, motors and generators. These cars have tremendous potential for investigating a host of relationships between identified independent and dependent variables. Students can then create their own design and data collection techniques and write up appropriate conclusions to their study. More click here.

Dear Seibun International:

Thank you for the Mind Development kits in my classroom. The science instruction that the students received through the hands-on experience of
making electric cars was invaluable. Not only were they motivated by the
novelty of the products, they were 100% successful in building their cars.
Furthermore, every student in my class mastered the written exam that
covered the objectives of the lessons taught through building the cars. More click here.

I am writing this letter to acknowledge our use of Seibun Educational products 
as part of our science and technology programs (summer space science camps 
for students and teachers, school presentations, teacher workshops and courses, and parent/child family science nights) and our recommendation for the high quality educational products which are appropriate for various themes and activities to catalyze student interest in science and technology. We have been conducting space science educational programs and support for teachers for 
the past 15 years to bring relevant and engaging science to our community. More click here.

I am writing to let teachers, students, and all interested in education
about the INCREDIBLE products offered by Seibun Educational. I am an elementary art instructor in Phoenix, Arizona. I have had the opportunity to use Seibun's Air-Clay with some of my students and younger friends of mine. I can  
tell you that we have had SO much success and great learning experiences using this clay. The students are able to accomplish amazing projects and are so
excited when they are able to use the clay. More click here.
