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:

Once you escape at Murfreesboro Escape Rooms, unlocking a door will never feel the same again!
Escape rooms are timed, room-size puzzles built around a certain story or theme. Come with a team or just a few close friends to challenge yourselves and see if you can outsmart our puzzle master!
Our rooms are $30 per person to play and you have 60 minutes in the room, but hopefully you don’t need them all. All ages welcome; we just ask that children 12 and under be accompanied by an adult in the room. If you’re unsure of where to start, check out the Game Guide here for a break down on which room will be the best fit for your team.Each of our rooms are designed to be a challenge, but they are not unbeatable! Every room is solvable if you work as a team, communicate with them and have fun. We’ll be monitoring your progress throughout the adventure so our hosts will help you out if you get stuck.
We have two locations just a short five minute drive apart – Stones River & Medical Center. Games themes are different at each location.

How do you describe economics to a 7-year-old? Should your preteen care about the government? Are your kids learning about the free market in class?
For too long, parents have been at the mercy of professional curriculum developers to instruct their children. History is watered down, key principles omitted altogether, and time and attention given to things of lesser importance. Freedom-loving parents have long been left alone to shoulder the burden of educating their children and passing down a love of liberty.
While there are many books to teach these ideas to adults, there has been a profound void in the children’s literature market. The Tuttle Twins series closes the gap, helping parents convey the principles of freedom to their kids in a fun way.
Each book in this series focuses on a different aspect of the principles of a free society: free markets, competition, individual rights, the non-aggression principle, personal responsibility, protectionism, and a variety of other issues—all boiled down to core concepts that children of different ages can easily grasp.
Buy your own copy today for the children in your life. Understanding the idea of freedom is a gift that shouldn’t be reserved just for adults!
Turnip Green Creative Reuse diverts usable material from our landfill for creative endeavors. Each day, we take in an average of 1000 pounds of donated hard-to-recycle materials and redistribute them back to community members through a shopping center and education programming.
Our hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00 am–4:30 pm.
Learn more about what Turnip Green does by coming to our space! Field Trips to Turnip Green include a group tour of our Creative Reuse Center, Artist Marketplace & Gallery, and Open Studio. After the tour, find materials from our shop and learn more about our mission of fostering creativity and sustainability through reuse by picking out materials from our shop to use for your creative reuse project lead by our staff.
When you assist with a reuse center shift you will be in the center of it all, guided by our awesome Reuse Specialists in a variety of processing tasks. From rolling and detangling materials, to creating fun paper scrap packs, stocking our shelves, or processing beads and other donations, you’ll be helping us give new life to these materials by keeping them out of the landfill! Have a special skill, or interested in helping with building or other special projects? Let us know!
Volunteers are invited to serve from home by helping sort, process and package materials! While this is an at home position, this task does require pick-up and drop off of take-home kits to and from Turnip Green.
