Three ways to get the kits free
1 · The one-for-one PTA programme
This is the one that scales. Buy one, we give one to the school. A family buys a kit through your school's link, we ship them their kit — and send an identical one to your school, free.
No selling. No order forms. No money to collect. Nobody carries a box. Your PTA sends one email, and the donated kits arrive together in one batch. Around thirty family orders is a full classroom set.
2 · Refer a teacher
Know someone who'd use this? Send them our way. When a teacher you refer books an in-school field trip or orders kits for their class, you earn a free set for your own room. No tracking spreadsheet, no codes to remember — introduce us and we'll handle it.
3 · Join the teacher community
Our Facebook group, Free Excavating Adventures & Dig Kits, is where teachers and homeschool families swap classroom transformation ideas, DIY dig setups and in-class field trip plans. Giveaways and free kit opportunities get posted there first.
What's actually in a kit
- Six Digs — one-inch containers with the specimen name hidden under a scratch-off
- Six real specimens — actual rocks, minerals and fossils in a six-compartment tray, not replicas
- Six 3D-printed Gemlings in a blind bag, with six matching trading cards
- The Realm map and excavation tools
Students dig their way in, work out what they've found, match each specimen to its card, and keep it. Specimens are drawn from a much larger set, so no two kits are alike — which is why the last stretch of the lesson is a room full of children comparing and trading.
Want a set for the whole class right now? Adventure Kits are $19.99 — classroom pricing is $15 a student (15-student minimum), and every kit bought through a school's link donates one to that school.
