Introducing Crunch Labs: STEM Toys for Children

Learning with your hands can be fantastic fun and a great way to build and understand things as you go. Crunch Labs is the brainchild of YouTuber and engineer Mark Rober, where he brings scientific and engineering principles to life through fun kits that you can build and play with at home.

Hands on creativity kits allow you to build like an engineer and play like an engineer with a world of amazing builds that bring science and technology to life, these sets are great for children and adults with an interest in tech.

How Crunch Lab Sets Work

Founded by a former NASA engineer, these toys focus on teaching STEM subjects through hands-on learning, as you build a project and learn along the way.

With step-by-step building guides and a scientific principle at its core, each kit brings a unique take to learning about real-world engineering concepts and makes it a plaything for you to enjoy again and again. Follow the instructions and utilise critical thinking skills to build projects and take on experiments in fun and fascinating ways.

Why STEM Toys Matter

STEM toys are a great way to encourage critical thinking and to nurture an interest in scientific subjects. By needing to think analytically in engineering your own projects, and building confidence through experimentation, you can learn to solve problems independently.

By presenting learning through play, you can pick up complex subjects more effectively by being actively engaged in the subject at hand and have a real-life example to refer to when building and creating each kit.

This can benefit children and adults through introducing mechanical engineering concepts, physics principles, design thinking and more.

Key Features of Crunch Labs Kits

Each kit is a hands-on engineering project, allowing you to build a functioning project, or toy, whilst learning the scientific principles behind its action or experimentation as you go.

With engaging video lessons included, these help you follow along as you build, distilling down complex ideas into easily digestible information that has a practical application to the project in front of you.

Designed to encourage curiosity where the user can ask questions and test ideas, the exploration of science, technology engineering and maths comes through high-quality components for repeated use and experimentation.

Who Are Crunch Labs Kits Best For?

Crunch Lab kits are great fun for everyone from young science enthusiasts right through to adults who want to try their hand at robotics, electronics and coding projects.

Creative Kits foster basic creativity and introduce simple concepts ideal for 6 – 10-year-olds, whilst Build Boxes are aimed at a slightly older audience with a focus on STEM engineering and physics. Hack Packs are for young teens right through to adults as they are great for 14+ builders with an interest in electronics.

Whatever your age, there’s something to keep you enthralled, whether you’re homeschooling or want some extra curricular activities that will keep them engaged. Great as gifts too, you’re sure to have them thinking as they play with each exciting kit.
