Q: Is there a discount to purchase a 3 month subscription? Also, is there a way to purchase as a Christmas gift but not have the 1st crate arrive until January? Asked by Bridget T., October 2021
Yes, if you purchase a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription you will receive a discount. Our month-to-month boxes are $29.95/mo, our 3 month boxes are $27.95/mo, 6 months are $26.95/mo, and 12 months are $24.95/mo.
Yes, you should be able to choose which month you'd like to start when placing your order. If you do not see that option, you can place your order and then simply contact us with the month that you would like your subscription to start and we can make the adjustment for you.
Q: Can you choose to send a kit every three months instead of monthly?Asked by Hector C., November 2020
Hello,
Yes, you can definitely do that! Once you place your order for a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription, simply contact us with the specific months that you would like the boxes delivered. As of now I'm not sure if cratejoy offers custom ship dates for pay-per-month subscriptions, but we can do so with the 3, 6 and 12 mo. Thank you!
Q: It says 7-12. My grand child is at the upper end. Will these be challenging enough for her?Asked by Ed D., November 2020
We have many teens, and parents even, who love the projects. We provide a variety of topics and difficulty levels per box. Younger kids may need help with some of the more difficult projects, but tweens and teens will be able to do them independently. Thank you!
Q: Is there a way to get a 6-month subscription that cannot be renewed? It would be a school purchase.Asked by Lucca D., November 2020
Yes! You can purchase a 6 month subscription and set it to "do not renew". Thank you! STEM Discovery Boxes
I gave a box to my niece as part of her Christmas gift. She had a great time following the directions and creating. We even made one kit over Skype together. Thanks!

What a great box! My 10 year old loved it.
Thank you so much! We love hearing feedback from our customers and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It is so wonderful to hear that your son loves his STEM Discovery Box!
This was a first time we ordered the Stem Discovery Box. It was fun and educational. I really liked that there were 3 different projects in one box. 1 of the projects even had enough supplies to make extra bouncy balls. I think it's a great value! My husband and son have enjoyed working on it together. I'm looking forward to the next box.
Thank you so much for your review! We greatly appreciate it!
The box was received quickly (~3 days after ordering). I have 2 boys, 9 & 12 yrs old, and they both loved it. Our box contained 3 activities, (1) making glow-in-the-dark bouncy balls, (2) a balance robot, and (3) VR goggle kit. The bouncy balls were the biggest hit, we made 3 of them the first day (and lost 1 of those already, so I'm glad we could make multiples). My 9 year old really enjoyed the VR goggles, they gave app suggestions to download and he loved the zoo safari. My 12 yr old hogged the balance robot. They've both been bugging me about when the next box is coming, so I'm calling this a hit! The instructions were easy to follow, and simple/short enough to keep them engaged.
I love hearing about how your little STEMists are enjoying their STEM Discovery Boxes! Thank you for your kind review.
