Enrichment programs

Choose the program that fits your year

  • Year-Round Enrichment

    STEM every month, all year, for classes that want the habit rather than a unit.

  • Full School-Year Program

    Boxes matched to the school calendar rather than the calendar year.

  • Partial-Year Program

    A shorter run for a semester, a term, or a grant that does not cover a full year.

  • Short Program

    A small number of boxes for a club, a camp, or a pilot before you commit.

  • Pay-Per-Month

    Month to month with no term. Pay as you go and stop whenever you need to.

Every monthly box includes...

  • Almost better than Disney

    Got this for my grandson and he said the only thing better would be Disney. He's made VR goggles, a hydraulic claw, and more. Creative, exciting, and absolutely worth the money.
