Reviews Summary
Customers say these monthly STEM subscription boxes spark excitement and learning in children ages 6-14. Kids eagerly await each delivery and typically complete builds independently within 30-90 minutes. Many reviews mention the accompanying videos effectively explain engineering principles in engaging, age-appropriate ways. Parents appreciate how these kits encourage hands-on learning while reducing screen time. Common feedback includes excellent customer service with free replacement parts when needed. Some note international shipping works well despite higher costs. A few mention occasional missing pieces or assembly issues, but most praise the durable construction and lasting play value after building.

    Monthly STEM Magic—My 7-Year-Old Is Obsessed!

    My 7-year-old son is obsessed with the CrunchLabs Build Boxes, he literally counts down to the 1st of every month waiting for the next one!

    The builds are definitely challenging (in a good way), and I’m amazed at what he’s able to complete at his age. They’ve been an awesome bonding activity for us, and they really encourage problem-solving and creativity.

    So far, he’s built the Coin Spinner, Trip Wire, Drawing Machine, and Strobe Light—each one totally different and super engaging. The Trip Wire was a huge hit (he set up “booby traps” all over the house 😂), and he still loves showing it off to friends.

    The kits are well-organized, easy to follow, and the Mark Rober videos are a fun bonus (though he’s even built some without them!).

    Highly recommend for any kid or even adults!

    Fun

    My son loves watching the Mark Rober videos and I knew he would love to try it out . We did the first box and it had him intrigued and excited and finally a break from video games . Can’t wait for future creations.

    Works in Europe too ;)

    Greetings from Germany! We have not found anything to compare in Germany. Mark and the Team make the inventive, creative spirit come alive on YouTube and Netflix, and paradoxically it gets our 10YO son Lucas away from the TV / iPad and into Real Life :) ! Love it, Danke Schoen!!
