Corrosion Toolkit (cKit™)

The Corrosion Toolkit (cKit™) was developed in 2005 by the NACE Foundation as a fun and stimulating learning experience for students, as well as hands-on curriculum for high school teachers to challenge, inspire and educate their students on corrosion science and engineering. We recruited our industry’s top corrosion experts to create an engaging way to demonstrate corrosion concepts and principles to high school students. They answered this challenge by designing the cKit™ and gladly donated their time and energy in exchange for the opportunity to be part of this exciting project.

Included in the kits are the basic materials necessary to perform the experiments:

Alligator Clips
AA Battery & Battery Holder
Electrode Set (metal strips of aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, tin and zinc)
Digital Voltmeter
Teachers Guide

In addition, you will also find supplemental information such as:

A brochure on our Foundation and programs.
An action-packed comic book adventure which we designed, called “Inspector Protector and the Colossal Corrosion Fighters.”
