STEAM concepts kids actually enjoy

Hands-on & Screen-free

Active building, not passive viewing

"They had a great time. And somewhere in that mess, we realized this was the most engaged we'd seen them in months."

It started with a Halloween costume. Our kid wanted legs that could collect candy on their own. We're a little fuzzy on the exact mechanics they had in mind, but we spent a weekend trying to figure it out together anyway.

That weekend stuck with us. We started looking for kits that could give them more of that — the building, the figuring-out, the not-quite-working-but-trying-again. We couldn't find what we wanted. The 3D pen sets were fine for doodling and then stopped. The STEM kits "for girls" were just the regular ones in different packaging. Nothing was wrong with them exactly. They just didn't go anywhere.

So we made what we wanted to exist.

Every Enki kit is designed by PhD engineers and an art educator who are also parents — not as a credential, but because it changes how you think about what "too hard" means for a seven-year-old, and where the real engagement lives inside a learning curve.

Kids are born curious. They don't need to be convinced to explore — they just need the right invitation. What we build isn't just real science content. It is genuinely fun. The rocket actually launches. The bird actually balances. That moment of "wait, it worked" is what keeps kids coming back, and it is where the real learning happens.

The name comes from Enki, the Sumerian god of wisdom and craft. Old, a little obscure, and about the drive to make things rather than just know them. That felt right.

Our Products

Every kit comes with a full-color curriculum guide, printed in the USA with real-lab step-by-step photos taken in our own studio. All guides are pre-punched for three-ring binders so kids can build a personal science library as the series grows.

Buying Guide

Choosing a 3D Pen for Your Enki Kit

Our kits are curriculum and material sets. You bring the 3D pen, and one pen works across all kits in the Enki series. Pen requirements vary by kit, so use the guide below to find the right match.

Rocket Launcher Kit

Requires a pen that uses PLA or ABS filament. Low-temp PCL pens cannot provide the rigidity needed for the elastic launch mechanism.

Compatible with: MYNT3D Super, MYNT3D Pro, SCRIB3D P1, 7TECH 3D Pen, TECBOSS 3D Pen, Dikale 3D Pen, and most standard PLA or ABS pens

Balancing Bird & Mobile Kit

Works with any standard 3D pen, including low-temp PCL options. A flexible starting point for families new to 3D pens.

Compatible with: most PLA, ABS, and PCL pens including low-temp models. Works with 3Doodler Start+, MYNT3D Super, MYNT3D Pro, SCRIB3D P1, 7TECH 3D Pen, TECBOSS 3D Pen, Dikale 3D Pen, and most standard 3D pens

We may receive commissions if you purchase through our links. These are pens we recommend based on compatibility, not paid partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

It really flies. The rocket uses an elastic launch mechanism to teach projectile motion. It is a functional experiment, not a decoration. If it is not taking off right away, it usually just needs a small alignment tweak. That troubleshooting moment is part of the learning. The curriculum guide includes pro flight setup tips on pages 14 to 16.
