Teacher Lending Program

Worlds UNBound at the University of New Brunswick is excited to support teachers across New Brunswick with hands-on learning tools that bring coding, robotics, and engineering to life!

Our Teacher Lending Program allows educators to borrow classroom technology kits for a short period, helping you introduce new concepts, test out robotics activities, or enhance an upcoming STEM unit. Whether you’re exploring programming logic, problem-solving, or engineering design, we’ve got the tools to help your students think like innovators.

How It Works

  1. Review the Equipment List – Decide which kits fit your lesson or grade level.

  2. Download the Loan Agreement – here

  3. Complete and Email It – Fill out the agreement and send it to worlds@unb.ca with your preferred loan dates.

  4. Pick Up or Drop Off – Equipment can be picked up from Head Hall, 15 Dineen Drive, Fredericton, or other arrangements can be made depending on your school’s location.

  5. Enjoy a Week of STEM Exploration – Borrowed kits are typically loaned for one week, with extensions available upon request (subject to availability).
