I know many of us have kids who love Legos and building things, but what about building technology and electronics?

Creation Crate is a subscription service that sends a hands-on tech experience to your home. It’s a tech experience in a box. Creation Crate helps you learn electronics, coding, technology hardware, robotics, and more. Each new project is different and builds upon your experience. They send you a kit with all the instructions and parts needed to create a technology project. Everything you need is in the box, with the exception of your own computer.
I got started with my kidlets right away. It was so fun to get a project to do together in the mail! Our project was a mood lamp that changes colors and turns on only when it’s dark. Building the hardware is the first step of the project. My 9 year old was able to help me just fine. I let her put most of the components in herself.
I did have to help her with the instructions. They are not very detailed and use a lot of small diagrams, so I had to help her get used to reading them and following the pictures very carefully. This took a little bit to get used to, but it was a good learning experience.
In about 20 minutes we had a cool piece of technology all set up. She was pretty proud of herself.
