Tinkernauts

About

I started Tinkernauts because I wanted to give kids something more than just another toy—a reason to get their hands busy, their minds curious, and their confidence growing. When I see a child grab a real screwdriver and figure out how something works, I know they’re learning in a way no screen can offer.

Why Tinkernauts Kits?

• Every kit is packed for real exploration. Kids get actual tools, not cheap plastic lookalikes.
• The projects aren't just for fun (though they're plenty fun) - they're designed so kids can dig into how things work and develop resilience through trial and error.
• All parts are safe, non-toxic, and even biodegradable where possible. No extra runs to the hardware store - you get everything in the box.

What’s Inside?

• Mechanical Marvels like a working catapult or a turbo car teach gears and force.
• Electronic Wonders such as an Art Bot or Bluetooth speaker make circuits real.
• Physics projects like a hydraulic maze or cycloid pattern maker boost curiosity.

Skills That Stick

• Real-world physics concepts, not just theory.
• Problem-solving and patience, especially when things don’t work the first time.
• Kids feel proud and say “I built this!”—that’s the best part.

Messiness and mistakes? Part of the deal. We call failed attempts ‘prototypes’ and believe that’s exactly how inventors get started. If you’re looking for screen-free STEM activities or want your child to build their own science project kit, you’re in the right place.
