"The kits have brought more critical thinking, creativity, hands-on learning, collaborative learning, sharing, and helpfulness into my classroom. Classes that are some of my most chaotic are the most calm and thoughtful while working on these kits. The classroom tends to be quieter than usual, the students that tend to finish last normally are the early finishers and the students that work their way around the classroom helping others, and each student has a strength that they get to demonstrate that would have otherwise gone undiscovered." —Ms. Ingvalson, Northside Elementary & Coulee Montessori

"The project was very fun to build. I appreciated the option to customize your ukulele and create a design that you liked. I learned some interesting things and would 100% recommend it for anyone who likes to work with their hands or has an interest in building and musical instrument construction." — Student from New Albany Middle School

"The students' favorite aspect of the kits is that they get to build something that actually works and that they get to take home to show off! Last year I had a student who insisted that one of the rooms he was in listen to music using the speaker that he built because he was that excited about building it! Another student let me know all of the songs that they had learned on their ukulele once they got to take their instrument home." — Ms. Ingvalson, Northside Elementary & Coulee Montessori

"It was a cool experience and taught us how to work together." — Student from Oak Grove Middle School
