STEM Pack Subscription

No experience is necessary! You can start as a complete beginner and have no problem finishing (and understanding) each project.

Every TechBox project can be completed without the use of a computer. However, if you want to explore the programming section or customize the project in any way, a computer IS required.

TechBox supports all MacOS and Windows 11 devices.

Ages 12+ will have the best experiences with our projects. We have seen middle school students and college students both delight at the hands-on learning experience they aren’t getting in school. Parents and guardians should use their own discretion for whom they purchase, but we have worked diligently to ensure safe and engaging fun for anyone interested in technology ages 12 years and older. Of course, each project contains small parts which can be choking hazards, so appropriate precautions should be taken.

When used correctly, each TechBox is entirely safe. All projects use low voltage electricity (like you might see with three AA batteries) which is used throughout the educational and hobbyist electronics industry. Of course, project components should not be consumed or misused in any way for safety reasons.

The contents of each TechBox is different depending on the project, but the main things in each box are:

• A microcontroller, which is like a small pocket-sized
  computer (and is also Arduino compatible)
• Various electronic components
• Sustainable wooden housing components
• Access to online step-by-step video guides

No! Everything needed to create each project is entirely contained within each TechBox and all parts snap-fit together with our toolless design. You will need an internet connection and device to access the step-by-step video guides and a computer if you want to complete the programming section of each project (each project is pre-programmed in case you wish to skip the programming section).

If something IS missing from your TechBox, we will send you a replacement at no extra charge. You can check for missing parts by looking at the first page of the video guide of each project, which shows all items that should be in the TechBox to complete the project. If any parts are missing, go to the “Contact Us” page (linked here), enter your information, select “Replacement Parts” as the subject, and tell us which part is missing in the message. If you have any other questions contact support@tech-box.io.

It depends! We make each project with 3 different sections to cover the assembly and programming with our goal being a build time of 1.5 - 2 hours. However, each project features a challenge at the end of their final section that is meant to engage kids and students indefinitely as they explore coding and engineering concepts.

All TechBox projects use the Arduino Language (C/C++), with a few select kits using additional languages such as HTML. No programming is required for any of the projects (all projects arrive pre-programmed), but for those interested in learning more, an in-depth programming section is included in each guide.

We offer one on one support through email and live chat!

No matter what problem you are trying to troubleshoot, TechBox will work with you and go step by step through your project until it is completed.

That is our promise to you!

Currently there is no option to purchase individual TechBoxes unless you are an educator wishing to purchase multiple of the same kit for your classroom or program.

TechBox projects are designed for one user, so we recommend a subscription for each person.

For a classroom setting, individual or paired groups work best with our projects.

Absolutely! Please visit our Educators page or contact our customer support team (support@tech-box.io) so that we can tailor the project package to fit your needs. Educators receive special pricing on bulk purchases, access to our special reusable housing materials (for repeated use between classes and semesters), and access to individual projects.
