15 years of hands-on discovery

Oct 8, 2026 / By Sandra

KiwiCo started with a simple idea: give kids fun, hands-on ways to explore, build, and learn.

Since then, we've delivered more than 60 million crates to families around the world and designed thousands of projects that spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

So this year, we’re celebrating what kids have made, and where all that curiosity can lead.

“Our core inspiration remains YOU, the families and kids we serve. From their "aha" exclamations of joy, discovery, and wonder to their intense focus when building and thinking to their proud displays of awesome creativity, your kids inspire us to dream up bigger and better ways to support and encourage them."

— Sandra, KiwiCo Founder

What 15 years of KiwiCo looks like

It looks like kids building robots, experimenting with science, creating art, and figuring out how things work.

It looks like families making time to build together.

And it looks like curious kids growing into curious adults.

That’s what we’re most excited to celebrate.

Because a KiwiCo project might start with one afternoon of building — but the confidence to try, solve, and create will stick around much longer.

Some of the kids who grew up with KiwiCo are now old enough to tell us where their interests took them.

We’re sharing a few of their stories to celebrate what happens when kids have space to explore what interests them.

"That overall curiosity about how the world works is something thats really relevant to my life today. I’m able to learn more effectively because I want to know the why behind things."

We’ve learned a lot in 15 years, too

Every KiwiCo project is designed to be fun first and built around opportunities to explore, experiment, and problem-solve.

Over the years, we’ve kept improving how we do that.

Built with expertise

Our designers, engineers, educators, and makers create hands-on projects that turn big ideas into experiences kids can jump into.

Built with families

Kids and families have helped shape KiwiCo from the beginning. Their feedback helps us understand what works, what doesn’t, and what gets kids excited to keep going.

Built for what comes next

Along the way, kids practice curiosity, creativity, confidence, and problem-solving. Those skills matter far beyond a single project.
