WHAT MAKES HACK PACK SO COOL
The specially designed Hack Pack subscription box guides anyone, from those new to coding to master hackers, into the world of Mechatronics where robotics and coding meet. Hack Pack is basically a robot-in-a-box.
“What makes Hack Pack different is it’s made for Teenagers and Adults,” says Rober. “The same formula that has worked on CrunchLabs’ BuildBox to get kids stoked on science while having tons of fun learning all about building and engineering is now being unleashed on their parents and older siblings. Even if you are new to coding or have never built anything before, our goal is to take you from wherever you are currently and level you up by making learning incredibly fun. That’s the real magic of Hack Pack.”

CrunchLabs Newest Subscription Line: Hack Pack
“I always wanted to teach toys to think!"
-Dan Tompkins, Senior Product Design
Hack Pack subscriptions are available now for $399.95. That’s $79.95 per box, with one free box. The yearlong subscription includes a bi-monthly box delivered with exclusive content that is shipped directly to your door. Each experience includes specialized Mark Rober videos, materials and project components, a booklet with picture-based instructions, STEM concept explanations, activities and challenges that take the toy to the next level, and a gear badge that celebrates a featured STEM principle. You can find more information on Hack Pack and shipping dates on CrunchLabs.com. Supplies are limited for this first installment so you can sign up for email and text alerts to be the first to know when the next drop will happen.
“I always wanted to teach toys to think! Instead of being boring and complicated, robots should be rad," says Dan Tompkins, Senior Product Designer for Hack Pack. “Since robots use sensors to understand the world around them, this means that what they do with that knowledge is malleable and easy to change, think: teaching your robot by hacking its computer brain. Coding is so cool because you can see your ideas take effect immediately and with Hack Pack, that process is totally plug and play.”
CrunchLabs creates each original, buildable engineering toy, hackable robot, and science-packed video from scratch. Our goal is to show kids and kids at heart how to Think Like an Engineer. Whether you have a spark of coding curiosity or you’re a hacker ready to play, Hack Pack gets you further on your STEM journey.
Even the big bad wolf couldn't huff and puff away the enchanting charm of The Magic Box.
