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 looks forward to receiving his box every month. Before he was bored and wanted to always have screen time. The projects that come in the crates are easy enough for him to follow the directions himself. After he's completed he is sharing his work with any and everyone. He has more confidence and sense of accomplishment. When he has screen time now he makes videos of his projects! Thank you so much for what you do! It has simplified the stress of what to do and the education of projects are a wonderful plus.

My daughter looks so forward to receiving her crate in the mail! The projects are a just right challenge for my 5th grader. I like the variety of projects provided. Overall fun and educational!

Greg & Tip

My grandsons (and honestly, their dad, my son) LOVES these. They look forward to the new subscriptions each year. They enjoy them more than most any other gift they've ever gotten.

Christine

My niece and nephews have enjoyed putting together the crates. They are learning and not even realizing it.

The books that come with the crates are great and my daughter has loved the crates we have received so far.
