Take a peek at some sample crates
Wooden Automaton
Ready, set—build! Dive into the mechanics of gears and cams to make a marble climb up the stairs with your own hand-cranked automaton. Discover other fascinating machines that move and continue tinkering with more DIYs.
Coin-Eating Robot
Discover robots in motion! Wire up an electric-powered droid and explore conductivity with a money-munching bot. Explore the science and mechanics behind switches, circuits, and cams (oh my!) while saving up in style.
Drift Motorcycle
Get ready for speed! Build an electric-powered motorcycle and tinker with the science of drifting. Discover the amazing engineering that goes into your model and see first-hand how a motor turns electricity into motion.

The big idea that brought Tinker Crate to life...
When we were first designing Tinker Crate, one of our advisors — a retired Professor of Science Education at Stanford University — challenged us to think about what STEM really means, beyond just “Science, Technology, Engineering and Math”.
Our response was that STEM is a key to creative problem solving, a foundation for critical thinkers, and a pipeline to innovation. Our mission in creating Tinker Crate is to help kids gain these crucial skills through hands-on activities that are also seriously fun.

“My son loves getting his box every month. This gives us that special time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. I recommend this for any parent!”
“This provides a fun way to expose my curious and intelligent daughter to STEM concepts that she otherwise would not reach in school for years.”
“It has been a great experience watching my kids learn through these boxes. I recommend them to everyone I know.”
“Simple instructions, kits come with all the pieces so there is no having to shop for things in stores and it explains the science behind how the kit works.”
“My son really enjoyed the kit. It was challenging and fun, as well as high quality and creative.”
“The crates we have received have been awesome - kids love making so many different things. The projects are amazingly varied.”
“My son looks forward to his crate and immediately works on it when it is delivered. He loves telling me what he built and how it works.”
“These kits are really well thought out and my granddaughter really enjoys putting them together.”
