You don't have to take your kid's phone away

Just give them something that can beat it. DIY soldering kits for kids and their parents — even if neither of you has ever held a soldering iron.

DESIGNED FOR KIDS AND ADULTS WHO HAVE NEVER HELD A SOLDERING IRON.

We teach through building, not watching

Every town used to have a shop where a ten-year-old could stand for half an hour with their nose pressed against the window. Kits from the scout supply store, electronics kits, the first solder joint Dad showed you at the kitchen table.

Kids today have more screens than ever — and fewer and fewer things they've built with their own hands. We don't want to take the phone away. We want to give them something that beats it fair and square: an hour of focus, an evening together and a device that actually works at the end.

See what you can build

ElectroCar — the first kit most families start with

A car dashboard panel your kid solders from scratch: turn signals, lights, horn, display. Once built, it really works — and that moment is what it's all about.

If the gift doesn't hit the mark, you have 30 days to get your money back.

Pixel Retro Console

First you solder it, then you play on it. Snake, Tetris, racing, tanks — controlled with real physical buttons.

No Wi-Fi, no app store, no ads and no algorithm. This screen has an end — you can put it down without a fight.

PixelBot™ AI — the console you build before you play

Color LCD screen, classic retro games and a built-in AI assistant. Our customers' most common second purchase — usually bought once the first kit has worked.

WHY IT WORKS

It's not that your kid gets bored faster

The screen that holds their attention today is bottomless — there's always another video, another level, another notification. Our kits have an end: you can build them, switch them on and feel proud of them that very evening.

No one has simply given them something to build with their own hands yet.

SAFETY

Safe — when you're right there

The question we get most often is: “Won't my kid get burned?” We answer it straight, because it's a good question.

Soldering needs an adult nearby and a few simple rules: a stable mat, the soldering iron always back in its stand, an open window and lead-free solder. With those in place, a six-year-old can do it — right next to you.

    No soldering iron in the box — and that's on purpose

    A cheap soldering iron thrown in just to fill the box can put a kid off electronics for years. We'd rather you pick a decent one separately.

    GOT QUESTIONS?

    Let's clear up any doubts

    help

    Is a soldering iron included?

    No — and that's a deliberate choice, not cost-cutting. A cheap soldering iron tossed into the box doesn't hold its temperature and can ruin a kid's first experience with electronics for good. If you don't have your own, you'll find a proper soldering kit in our store, chosen specifically for these projects.

    help

    What age are these kits for?

    6+ with an adult, 11+ on their own. It's not a rigid age limit, just honest guidance: what matters is how tricky the connections are and whether there's an adult nearby, not just your kid's age.

    help

    Is it safe? What about the fumes?

    Soldering takes rules, not fear. We use lead-free solder, the iron always goes back into a metal stand, there should be a mat underneath, and it's a good idea to keep a window open while you work. Safety glasses and a mat can be bought separately.

    help

    How is this different from a marketplace kit?

    We won't pretend you can't buy cheaper — you can. The difference is what you get besides the package: real support when something doesn't work, clear age guidance, a registered company with a tax ID and address, and 30 days for returns. With a marketplace kit, you're on your own with the problem.

    help

    What if it doesn't work after it's built?

    Write to us and describe what's happening — we'll go through it together, case by case. Most of the time it's one cold solder joint or an LED put in backwards, and it can be fixed in a few minutes.

    help

    Will my kid build it once and get bored?

    That's why our kits don't stop at the building stage. What you get is a device you actually use: a console you play on, a radio that plays, a watch you wear, a detector you take outside.
