“I love that MakeCrate boxes are just the right level of challenging and allow kids who feel at home around a maker studio to work on these independently. “

“There are built in challenges, but once you start getting the hang of the code, it’s easy to see how you can play with it on your own. Seeing the code work its magic on the project you just built is awesome.

“It was fun to see his face light up when the packages arrived at our door. And being able to open them up, look inside, and be excited about the next project is really fun for ME to watch! It’s wonderful to have everything we need included…makes it a no-brainer for mom!”
