Build Box is a monthly STEM subscription designed for kids ages 8-12+, turning engineering concepts like momentum transfer and light refraction into playful, hands-on builds. Each kit includes all tools and materials, illustrated instructions, and an exclusive companion video from Rober, transforming complex science into projects that spark curiosity and confidence. With builds ranging from disc launchers to chain reaction machines, the subscription encourages kids to build problem-solving skills and confidence through challenges, experiment, and experience the thrill of creating something that works.
Hack Pack blends robotics and coding in a bi-monthly subscription, designed for teens 14+ and adults.
