Hands-on electronics kits and teaching software from Evolved Academics. Made in a working classroom, sold to schools the way schools actually buy.
A first soldering project for grades 6–12. Students build a board that answers yes-or-no questions — eight LEDs chase while the button is held, and one stays lit beside a printed answer. No code, no microcontroller.

Evolved Academics is run by Steven Swanson, a working teacher in California. ClassLens started in 2024 out of grading that kept eating Sunday nights. Magic Conch started because a first soldering project should leave a student holding something that works, not a bag of parts and a worksheet.
Both products get used in a real classroom before anyone else is asked to buy them. Evolved Academics LLC was formed in 2026.
