What is Kiwi Crate?

Kiwi Crate takes kids ages 6-9 through a journey of discovery in STEAM. Each month an exciting science topic will be introduced with everything they need to put together an awesome build. Launch into the science of aerodynamics and trajectory with Archery Set or power up a spin art studio with Motorized Spin Art to unleash their creativity. Instructions, bonus challenges, and deep dives will take them even further.

Does Kiwi Crate require parental supervision?

As part of our design process (we spend 1000+ hours designing each crate), we make sure to test the experiences with kids across the listed age ranges. Projects are intended to be completed independently, but kids on the younger end of the age range may need more grown-up assistance. Plus, many families enjoy making, building, and playing together.

Engineering awesome

Spark your kids’ curiosity with super cool science and engineering projects.

As they build toys and tools, your young maker will learn the how and why things work the way that they do and then apply that knowledge to new inventions.

Watch them launch, design, create with Kiwi Crate!

Every kid can be an innovator.

Our mission is to inspire kids to build a better world.

We believe the problem-solving skills and creative confidence that kids gain through our hands-on projects will help them tackle the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

Designed by experts.

We’re a team of real-life educators, engineers, and rocket scientists. We spend 1,000+ hours perfecting every single crate to make it an awesome learning & play experience for every kid.

Approved by kids!

Every week, kids join us in The Innovation Factory to play with, test, and make sure that every toy, project, and build is fun, safe, and universally appealing for that age range.

Inspiring moments of discovery.

We design our projects and builds to be accessible for all learners, giving them a fun introduction to STEM (or building on the skills they already have!).

My granddaughter asks me every month when her next box is coming. She's loving it.

The crates sent each month seem to be of the right complexity for my child 6-year-old, which is very important. You want them to learn stuff but not at the cost of overwhelming them. So, projects of the right complexity are always a good thing.

Bought it as a gift for my nephews and the LOVE it! From the excitement of getting a package in the mail, to the curiosity of the gadget, to the STEM skills of building, AND the intrigue and literacy offered by the magazine, it has been an absolutely fantastic gift!

It's a fantastic addition to our homeschool curriculum and fun project to do as a family on the weekend!

Our daughter talks about her KiwiCo boxes all the time. I love that she can work fairly independently which gives her the ability to work on her problem-solving skills. She is always so proud of herself and excited to show everyone what she has done. We initially signed up for 3 months but now we're hooked.
