From the brand
How did we get our start?
In 2015, we were volunteering at an engineering outreach event for the Society of Women Engineers hoping to get local high school girls interested in engineering. We decided to make one of our breakout sessions a soldering workshop. The kits we had purchased for the event used low quality PCBs. This led to a lot of frustration. We hadn’t succeeded in sharing the joy we found in engineering.
What makes our products unique?
We designed our own kit using quality, high temp boards and making the kits simple enough to fit into a 30 minutes to one hour lesson plan.
