Hardware Kits for Classrooms and Labs

Run a kit for a class or a lab. Pool the order on a waitlist and let a chain of shops build, test, and pack it.

Start a design

The problem

Hardware costs too much to start

A classroom set of one hardware kit means a dozen parts from a dozen sources, all arriving before the term starts.

What you skip

  • No a procurement scramble
  • No parts from a dozen vendors
  • No untested kits

What you bring

  • A kit design
  • A class size
  • A term start date
01

The kit is one order

Parts, board, and fasteners ship together.

02

Tested before shipping

A test step checks that each kit works before it leaves.

03

Pooled demand

Several classes can join one run and share a price break.

Idea to shipped unit

The path

  1. Publish the design
  2. Get a price curve
  3. Buyers join the waitlist
  4. Press start
  5. Every part is traced
  6. Units ship to buyers

Example chain

    • PCB fabrication
    • 3D printing
    • PCB assembly
    • Test
    • Pack and ship

Have a design?

Publish a design. Let the waitlist fund the run.
