Lending Library
To support Australian teachers, and with the support of the Australian Government Department of Education, we have established a National Lending Library program that will give you access to the latest equipment for your classroom.

Sample of Lending Library equipment, left to right Top row: Micro:bits, Dash & Dot. Second row: Beebot, Ozobot, Sphero, Little Bits Rule Your Room Kit. Last row: BlueBot, Makey Makey, Lilypad, Little Bits Arduino Kit
This program enables you to integrate a huge range of exciting and motivating Digital Technologies educational equipment into your classroom.
You can request to borrow, for free, a selection of Digital Technologies educational equipment, that is accompanied by lesson plans, based on our CSER MOOCs, designed for different age groups and mapped to relevant content descriptors in the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies learning area.

The library kits are designed to complement our free professional learning, (eg enrolled in a CSER MOOC or participated in a CSER face to face or virtual workshop) therefore priority is given to schools who participate.
