Different from other STEAM projects in the market, after the Tinkerer Explore box is assembled by hand, it gives the child a more in-depth insight into the science, art, and technology principles in the box. The project, along with the magazine introduces the commonness of the scientific theories and the application of these principles in our lives. With the continuous improvement of science and technology in the world, interdisciplinary comprehensive understanding, exploration and innovation capabilities will help children to be one step ahead in their future lives.
