Wacky Robots teaches electronics through small robots you build; STEM Box teaches electronics and coding through larger devices you build and then program. Neither is open to new subscribers, and existing subscriptions have been wound down.

Wacky Robots

  • Ages 7 and up

  • Focus: electronics and robotics

  • Beginner level

  • Two robots to build each month

  • Each robot unlocks a new secret game on Bit, the game console included in the first box

STEM Box

  • Ages 11 and up

  • Focus: electronics and coding

  • Medium complexity, still suitable for beginners

  • One device to build and code each month, such as a DJ mixtable, game consoles and walkie-talkies

Many of the projects from both subscriptions live on as current kits in our store, so you can buy them one at a time. Some of the older ones have since been discontinued — if you are after a particular kit, ask us and we will tell you whether it is still available.
