WELCOME TO NRCD
NRCD was founded in 2003 and is a family-run Kiwi business specialising in engineering motor resources and mechanical components for New Zealand schools and educational institutions.
Based in Auckland, we supply affordable electric and petrol powered mini-bike, motard, sidecar, and go kart kits to technology classrooms in over 200 schools across the country.
NRCD kits enable schools to provide engaging and interesting engineering and technology projects for their students, with practical hands-on learning across subjects like Maths and Physics.
Teachers tell us they have seen how this way of learning encourages their students to realise their full potential and helps develop their skills for the future and as the next generation of great Kiwi innovators!
“We have a fantastic culture in the workshops…many of my students have gone on to secure apprenticeships on the strength of their project portfolios…a number of students go straight into tertiary studies from the workshop” - Hamish Carr, Teacher at Katikati College
“Engineering is one of the most popular subjects in the school…Many of our Engineering Academy students take up an apprenticeship when they leave college and I know that many employers are really impressed with the kits made by the students which helps them gain employment.” - Bruce Scott, Engineering Head of Department at Waitakere College
