A great way to connect with my pre-teen!

Perfect for Tweens, teens and adults!
Everything you need is included!
My 13-year old son loves Creation Crate! He has a PS4, yet when the kit arrives, he jumps off those games and starts working on the new project.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Creation crate is an incredible learning tool. I'm a 29 year old engineering student and I am learning a ton from this program. I HIGHLY recommend this. My only complaint is that they don't have more projects. I would do hundreds of these if that had them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My son was so proud of himself for creating an electronic toy. He took it to school for show and tell! These crates are great for teaching your child the science of how things work. :-)

Who is this for?
Recommended for ages 12+... but we’ve seen it all.
- Children as young as 8 years old completing the project with a parent
- College students wanting an extra hands on learning experience they aren't getting in university
- Parents wanting to create meaningful experiences with their teenagers
- Homeschool parents wanting to include electronics in their curriculum
- Adults wanting to start a new interesting hobby
- 65 year old retirees wanting to keep their mind sharp and be tech literate
- Essentially, if you want to learn electronics or C++ programming, Creation Crate is the tech subscription box for you.
What's inside?
All of the electronic kits are going to be different depending on the project, but the 3 main things you will receive are:
- An UNO R3 microcontroller, which is like a pocket-sized computer (and is also Arduino compatible)
- Various electronic components
- Access to online courses
Do I need any prior experience?
No experience necessary! You can start as a complete beginner and have no problem finishing (and understanding) the first project.
What programming language will I learn?
All of Creation Crate’s projects use the Arduino language (C/C++).
What components will I learn about?
You'll gain hands-on learning experience with microcontrollers, breadboards, piezo buzzers, light emitting diodes (LED), ultrasonic sensors, accelerometers, 7-segment displays, LCD screens, microphone modules, temperature humidity sensors, LED matrices, photoresistors, buttons, and jumper wires.
What's inside the online classroom?
Inside the Online Classroom you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the hardware, video tutorials for components, and tutorials on how to program your project.
You'll also get an overview of common errors, exercises to test your new knowledge, and a messaging board to help troubleshoot and answer any questions you have.
Do you offer any support?
We offer one-on-one support through email, phone, and video!
No matter what problem you are trying to troubleshoot, Creation Crate will get on a call with you and go step by step through your project until it is completed.
Just email support@creationcrate.com whenever you need it!
