CrunchLabs is a monthly STEM toy subscription box for kids, designed by former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober.
Our goal is to show kids and kids at heart how to Think Like an Engineer™ (because who better to teach children engineering than childish engineers!?).
To us, thinking like an engineer isn’t about a profession or degree path, it’s a hands-on approach that helps you accomplish whatever you set your mind to. Even if that’s… starting a toy company! We hope you have as much fun with our toys as we do.
CrunchLabs is for anyone who loves learning! CrunchLabs Build Boxes are designed for kids ages 8-12+, but plenty of other kids and adults have enjoyed them too! Build alone or build with friends and family! Hack Pack boxes are designed for teens 14+ and adults, and really, anybody who is interested in fun, coding, and robotics.
What do all CrunchLabs subscriptions include?
We offer two awesome build-it-yourself STEM toy subscriptions, Build Box and Hack Pack.
Whatever subscription plan you sign up for, all CrunchLabs boxes include:
