Hi, I'm Jack, the designer/author/engineer behind Creator's Craft Crates

The Idea for Creator's Craft Crates started in 2024 when I took my then 5-year old daughter to a STEM Fair at the big, local expo center.  I was excited to play with a bunch of STEM related toys and kits with her there and help ignite inside of her the same passion that I have for science and engineering.  Unfortunately, the STEM fair was surprisingly lame.  I don't want to badmouth anyone, but I left there that evening quite disappointed in the majority of the booths and displays.  I thought, "I could totally make STEM kits that would be way better than what we saw there!"

Then, I thought about it more seriously, "I could totally make STEM kits that would be way better than what we saw there!"  I mean, I'm a Mechanical Engineer who has always had a passion for toys and fun.

  I already have a "Maker" business with multiple laser cutters, 3d printers, and years of manufacturing and online selling experience. 

 I should make STEM kits!

 

My goal, though was not to just make STEM kits, it was to inspire the rising generation with a passion for science, engineering, and making through kits and materials that:

  1. Show how fun science and making really are.
  2. Actually teach something rather than just being a toy with some "STEM" marketing.
  3. Help kids build the skills needed so that they can make cool stuff without even needing a kit that somebody else designed for them.

Soon after that, Creator's Craft Crates was born!
