We're excited to announce "Build a Rocket VS Mark Rober", Mark's first experience on
@Roblox
! It's an open sandbox experience where users collaboratively create rockets and embark on an intergalactic adventures from their CrunchLabs home base. We can't wait for you to play!
Sundar Pichai (aka the CEO of
@Google
) came by for a tour of CrunchLabs to hang out for a bit! In the end, his ideas for CrunchLabs were better than his aim with the tennis ball cannon.
Attention Build Box subscribers: We're introducing exclusive Dino Rockets to Build a Rocket vs Mark Rober on
@Roblox
! Claim yours by checking out the Dino Podium in your docking bay and entering your Roblox Secret Code from your My Account section on the CrunchLabs website!
CrunchLabs doesn't teach you how to build just one of these, you get to learn how to build ALL of these and a bunch of others too! We'll guide you through the tricky parts and teach you all the juicy physics at play so that you'll become an engineering master in no time :)
We were so excited about
@Google
and
@Googleorg
's new STEM education grants that we invited YouTube CEO Neal Mohan and a team of FIRST Robotics builders to the Lab to celebrate!
We may have had a bit too much fun...big thanks to Neal for being such a good sport!
It's time for us to say happy trails to all of our campers!
While you may be sad that camp is ending, the good news is we have a TON of Build Boxes coming your way. This year is going to be a blast (no pun intended!) Thank you so much for being a part of Camp CrunchLabs!
We now have a referral program! Enrolling gives you a discount code to share. Friends will get $10 off AND you'll get $10 in store credit when it's used! The best part? We'll send you a FREE signed Phat Gus after you make three referrals!
Check it out:
If you're new here, you may not know that CrunchLabs is a real place. Not only do we dream up all of our Build Boxes here, we also have a ton of ultra-fun larger than life engineering toys, just like this tennis ball air cannon!
Wish Mark Rober was your science teacher? Wish granted! Each Build Box comes with an exclusive Mark Rober video that not only shows you how to complete the build, but explains the STEAM principles that make it work. Who's ready to get building??
A big happy birthday to Mila Zoé, who just celebrated with an amazing CrunchLabs-themed party! Who knew the CrunchLabs wrench would make such awesome cookies?
Everything is powered by the sun? It's true! If you think of other ways the sun gives us power, let us know in the replies!

"The goal of this box is to get you to think like an engineer. It makes you a critical thinker. I teach you the juicy physics," says

. "We sold out in 5 days, there was a 90K person waitlist, and it's all self-funded."
Every engineer knows that something not working at first is a learning experience, not a failure! We call the process of testing different things and making changes until you find the best solution "iteration". We love this for showing us how to do it with a smile on your face!
@MarkRober
My 5 year old son got his first CrunchLabs kit for Christmas yesterday and insisted on building it today. He is thrilled with his new creation!
Many people ask what happens after their first twelve boxes...the answer is you get twelve more! We've cooked up a brand new set of builds for Year 2, including this awesome Galton's Goalie build 😎 😎
⚠️ SNEAK PEEK ALERT!! ⚠️
This is one of the awesome new builds coming your way in Year 2! Anyone want to take a guess at what's going on here? (hint: Camp CrunchLabs viewers might already know!)
Gifting a Build Box for the holidays? Be sure to have the camera out! Reactions like this one make priceless memories :)

has my 4 year old son talking about fidget spinners being flywheels and spinning because of inertia. Thanks for the great Christmas gift!
Big news!
@Googleorg
has announced they’re providing funding that will, in part, help get Build Boxes to kids who have traditionally lacked access to STEM spaces! STEM education should be for everyone.
Check out the full article on Google's new grants:
This Gear Badge Diploma comes with the first box of your subscription. Each box has a different gear, which represents the STEM concept you learned while building. The more boxes you build, the longer your gear train will grow, until you have a loop that can move all together!

The three stages of getting a new Build Box:
Step 1: Wondering what you're going to build!
Step 2: Checking out the box for clues...
Step 3. Excited and ready to get started!

Did you know every Build Box we make is eco-friendly? Our packaging uses compostable uncoated cardboard and biodegradable plastic alternatives, and our builds are predominantly made out of wood to keep them out of landfills!
A little Phat Gus told us she wants to spend the holidays with her fans...so for a limited time we're lowering the referral requirement! Make just TWO referrals by the end of the week and she'll arrive in time for the holidays!
We now have a referral program! Enrolling gives you a discount code to share. Friends will get $10 off AND you'll get $10 in store credit when it's used! The best part? We'll send you a FREE signed Phat Gus after you make three referrals!

Each Build Box comes with all the pieces you need to make your own awesome toys! Laying all the parts out to get your bearings is a great way to start your building process. Anyone recognize what finished build this will be?
It can be so fun to work on a box with your family! Do you prefer collaborating with your loved ones to finish a build, or do you like to fly solo?
We think that both are great! 😄

We at Crunchlabs are committed to promoting STEM education and making it accessible to all. As part of this effort, we provide STL files for 3D printing replacement parts so that kids can keep learning and experimenting with our build boxes. 🧑🔬📦
Forget about tee-ball, this is Airball!
It's so fun to see the creative ideas kids come up with for their Build Box toys! Does your family ever come up with some out-of-the-box ways to play?

Happy Birthday Jesse!! 🎂 🎂
@MarkRober
Crunch Labs is all my 5 y/o son wanted for the holidays. He asked me to take this photo and let you know he got your box!
From one Dad to the next, thank you for inspiring children to be real super heroes and making the world a better place.
Each Build Box comes with a STEM toy to make and an exclusive Mark Rober video that explains everything you need to know, whether it's build instructions or the concepts at play! Which is your favorite part of the box?
