Thimble.io

Bring hands-on STEM kits and classes to your school

Thimble.io provides hands-on STEM kits paired with live and on-demand online classes for schools, after-school programs, camps, makerspaces, and community programs. The kits are designed for grades 4-12 and are intended for teachers without a prior STEM background, with curriculum and programs built to make them comfortable teaching the material. The offering balances screen time with hands-on learning through robotics, coding, and video game design projects.

Programs are available for virtual and in-person students, with beginner kits reusable and advanced kits involving soldering that can be programmed repeatedly. The company recommends one to two students per kit. Thimble.io works with schools and districts and offers demos for educators planning a STEM program. Pricing details are not provided on the available pages.
