What’s a Curiosity Box?

We’re the Inq Factory team, led by Michael Stevens of Vsauce. Every season, we pack a box with things we invented, wrote or designed, so science becomes something you can pick up and play with. Schools and homeschool families use it for hands-on learning that teens actually want to open.

Brand-new inventions

Subscribers fund strange, ambitious builds that start in our workshop, like a ruler that measures in any unit.

Real science, not crafts

Real science, not crafts

Each item is built around a real principle: optics, logarithms, symmetry, atomic structure.

What families say

★★★★★
I used the packages for my homeschooled son; they’re the best. High-quality and interesting topics. Easy to use but complex enough to tickle the curiosity of my teenager.

★★★★★
My son wanted the Curiosity Box as a birthday present and we ended up doing it for two years. Lots of little gadgets that were fun and teachable, easy to work into learning activities.
