  • Semester class path — 16+ weeks of ordered labs covering sensing, mechanisms, circuits, mobility, and animatronics
  • First-principles lessons with every build: why it works, not just how to assemble it
  • Monthly guided focus + remix challenges so builders extend the base machine
  • Member support for stuck moments, BOM questions, and classroom pacing

Who thrives here

Families, makers, and teachers

Families

A ready pipeline of keepable birch builds. Kids finish machines that move, sense, or express—and understand the physics.

Solo makers

Teaching-quality writeups and a full archive when your own backlog is too long.

Homeschool & classroom

Use the semester path as a lab sequence. Upgrade to classroom licenses when you need print/project rights for a full cohort.

Included

Pack library + semester path

Membership unlocks the same digital packs sold individually—plus a suggested 16-week order that covers a full semester without scrambling for “what’s next.”

FAQ

Common questions

What’s included in Build Club?
While subscribed: digital access to the full project-pack library (all 31 catalog packs), the semester teaching path, monthly guided focus, and member support. Hardware is not included.
Do I need to buy parts separately?
Yes. Every pack includes a verified BOM with honest USD ranges. Most parts are common hobby electronics and birch plywood. See the sourcing guide.
What age is Build Club for?
Projects are aimed at ages 8+ with an adult nearby for tools when needed. Adult makers use the same packs solo. Difficulty is labeled on each pack.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Membership is month-to-month via Stripe. Cancel anytime via your Stripe receipt email—no long-term lock-in.
How is this different from buying a single pack?
A single pack is a one-time purchase of one project. Build Club is the membership: full library access, semester sequencing, and ongoing support for families and classes that want a whole workshop year—not one weekend.
Do teachers still need classroom licenses?
Build Club is for the member household / instructor planning. For a full class with print/project rights, use the Classroom license on that pack (1 teacher, up to 30 students on most packs; the Hand Classroom license is $59 for 1 educator, up to 10 learners).

Teaching a group?

Need more than a membership?

Build Club is the membership for families. For classrooms, co-ops, and microschools, our licensed curricula turn the pack library into a 30-week course or a 1-credit high-school semester — with student workbooks and a week-by-week teacher's guide.
