The Story of Tingle STEM: How Friends Turned Passion into Purpose
It started with shared office and a shared dream.
lifelong friends and fellow tech enthusiasts, had spent their careers building software, engineering products, and exploring emerging technologies. But when they each became parents, something shifted. Their focus turned from what they could build for the world to what they could build for their children.
Like most parents, they wanted the best for their kids—not just academically, but creatively. They searched for hands-on STEM kits that were not only educational, but engaging, inclusive, and fun. But what they found was either too complicated, too dull, or too focused on rigid outcomes instead of sparking imagination.
So they decided to build their own.
In their spare time, they started prototyping kits—circuit boards made kid-safe, experiments that combined coding with storytelling, and components that didn’t just teach how something works, but why it matters. Their children became the first testers, giving unfiltered feedback that shaped every detail.
What began as a weekend project soon caught the attention of other parents, educators, and even classrooms. Encouraged by the response and united by a mission, they officially launched Tingle STEM—a brand rooted in curiosity, creativity, and the joy of discovery.
“We believe STEM should be something kids feel, not fear. We want them to tingle with excitement when they build something real with their own hands.”
“This isn’t about turning every kid into an engineer. It’s about helping them become problem-solvers, creators, and confident thinkers—whatever path they choose.”
Today, Tingle STEM kits are used in homes and classrooms around the country, combining science, tech, engineering, and math with stories, play, and possibilities. Whether it’s a girl building her first robot, a boy exploring circuits, or a family learning coding together on the living room floor, Tingle STEM is creating more than kits—it’s creating connection.
From parents with a passion, to a growing movement of curious minds—Tingle STEM is proof that when learning feels like wonder, anything is possible.
