How CrunchLabs Works

Build

Build your own toys and robots with simple step-by-step instructions.

Play and Hack

Play, hack, and iterate with every new box.

Think

Think about how it all fits together with mind-blowing exclusive videos from Mark Rober.

Thinking like an engineer means you're resilient. It's getting back up after being knocked down and approaching things differently. That determination helps kids tackle everyday challenges and it's the same determination that puts rovers on other dang planets!

- Mark Rober

Founder of CrunchLabs, NASA engineer for the Curiosity Mars Rover, public enemy #1 of neighborhood squirrels, & creator of the sparkliest glitter bomb pranks

Best gift! He had the box open and was building within moments of receiving it. Then he showed his siblings and his neighborhood friends just how cool it was!

From CrunchLabs boxes to National Invention Convention! I cannot thank Mark Rober enough for fostering a love and passion for building and STEM in my kids.

Best activity ever!
Our six year old loves these kits so much. It takes him no time at all to build it while following the instructions. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Every activity is a winner. He is inspired to be an engineer and keeps hoping he will find a ticket to visit CrunchLabs 🤞
