This study investigates the effectiveness of using the Science Davinci Box toolkit to enhance the teaching and learning of solar energy concepts in Grade-12 Physics classes in Myanmar. Addressing the educational challenges of limited resources, outdated curricula, and a lack of trained educators, the intervention aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications through hands-on, experiential learning. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-intervention assessments, while qualitative insights were gathered from student interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observations. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' knowledge, with mean test scores increasing from 55% to 78% (p < 0.01). Additionally, the intervention fostered critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and increased student engagement with renewable energy topics. However, challenges related to technical difficulties, time constraints, and teacher readiness were identified. The findings underscore the potential of educational toolkits in enhancing renewable energy education in resource-limited settings and provide valuable implications for curriculum reform and teacher training programs in Myanmar.
