About this business
CircuitMess makes DIY electronics kits that you build yourself, starting from a bare circuit board.We design and manufacture our kits in-house: the PCBs, the enclosures, the firmware, and the step-by-step guides that come in every box. The range now covers a family of buildable devices, including the MAKERphone, Chatter messaging devices, the Wheelson self-driving car, ByteBoi, Clockstar, Circuit Pet, our rover kits and the Artemis watch. Some need a soldering iron and some are entirely solder-free, so there is a sensible place to start whether you are eleven or fifty.The part we care most about is what happens after the build. Every kit is meant to be understood, not just assembled, so each one ships with illustrated assembly instructions and coding lessons that let you reprogram the device once it powers up. Most people who start out following the steps end up rewriting the code, and that is the whole point.Our kits get built at kitchen tables by parents and kids working together, and they are used in classrooms and STEM programmes internationally.If a kit arrives faulty, if a part is missing, or if you get stuck halfway through a build, email [email protected] or call +1 (231) 907-6433 and we will help you sort it out.

We loved our S.T.E.M
We loved our S.T.E.M. coding kits from CircuitMess. We purchased the Chatter 2.0 VIP kit and the Virtual Pet bundle. Everything we needed was included in the kits. My 15, 12 and 9 year old were easily able to assemble the kits without my assistance. The assembled products are durable and get played with again and again. My kids love sending each other secret messages. These kits make great gifts and are a welcome addition to homeschool cirriculum! We plan to try other kits in the future.

Sarah, thank you so much for supporting our company. I really appreciate it. Hearing that your 15, 12 and 9 year old assembled the Chatter and Virtual Pet kits without your help really impressed me, and I love that they are sending each other secret messages. Getting the instructions clear enough for kids to build a kit on their own is the part we work hardest on, so this is really good to hear. - Albert, CircuitMess
CircuitMess Silicone Work Mat
I’ve ordered the CircuitMess silicone work mat twice now, and I’ve been really impressed with both the product and the company. The silicone work mat is great quality — sturdy, easy to clean, and perfect for having a dedicated workspace for small electronics and hands-on projects. After purchasing one, I ended up coming back and ordering another because I really liked it. What has impressed me just as much, though, is CircuitMess as a company. It’s rare to come across a company that seems genuinely passionate about making learning fun, practical, and accessible. I love that CircuitMess focuses on actually building and experimenting rather than just reading about electronics in a textbook. I homeschool my daughter, so that approach means a lot to us. I’m always looking for ways to turn learning into something she can experience with her own hands, and CircuitMess feels like such a great fit for that. The products are well made, the idea behind the company is amazing, and the customer experience has been wonderful. I’m very happy I found CircuitMess and will definitely continue supporting the company and exploring more of their products!

Thank you, Chris. I really appreciate the support. Have fun with your Artemis watch, and if there's anything we can do, let us know. Albert from CircuitMess
High quality kits and software
The kits were high quality and went together with no fuss. The preloaded software was well done and cute and engaging for my kids. One of the kits was assembly only and my 7 year old was able to be hands on, and he sat with me as I soldered the other one. Instructions are good and communication from the company is excellent too.

Thank you for your kind review. I really appreciate the support. We're a small business, so every single order and every single review really means a lot to us and is keeping us alive, thriving, and making new products. - Albert

My son loved the project and stayed quiet and calm; it was awesome!
I cannot say enough! Definitely a great purchase !
I cannot say enough good things about CircuitMess! We have purchased two of their electronic kits for my son, and both have been fantastic: the Synthia 2.0 and the NASA Artemis Watch 2.0. The Synthia 2.0 was especially perfect for him because he loves music and electronics. He was able to combine those interests while actually building something himself and learning how the different components work. The NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 was another huge hit. Being able to work with programming while creating something that he can actually use made the entire experience even more rewarding. What I appreciate most about CircuitMess is that their products are genuinely educational while still being fun. My son gets to build, problem solve, program, and understand how the technology works rather than simply using a finished product. It is hands-on learning that does not feel like learning, which is not always easy to find. The instructions have been easy to follow, the projects keep him engaged, and there is such a great sense of accomplishment when everything comes together and actually works. As a parent, watching him become completely focused on these projects and seeing how proud he is of what he has built makes them worth every penny. We will absolutely be purchasing more CircuitMess kits in the future. If you have a kid or teenager who enjoys electronics, coding, music, building things, or simply figuring out how things work, I highly recommend CircuitMess. The Synthia 2.0 and NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 have both been fantastic experiences for us!
I never knew I wanted to learn how to…
I never knew I wanted to learn how to solder. I got these kits for my son. He loves figuring out how things work so this was a perfect project for him. He was 11 at the time and the heat of the solder made him a little nervous so he asked me to do it the instructions were very clear and we had a lot of fun building these projects. These are great kits for that kiddo who loves to learn and build things that actually work.
These kits are so much fun!
These kits are so much fun! They teach great skills, get kids into STEM, and are really well designed. The instructions are easy to follow, regardless of skill level, and the results are awesome! I've been a customer since 2023, and every kit has been an absolute joy.
great customer service
Our first kit came with missing pieces that made it impossible to complete. After getting in touch with Circuitmess they were not able to send the same item, as it was discontinued but they did send us a new kit, my son really enjoyed.
My child is growing up with Wacky…
My child is growing up with Wacky Robots. Capacitrona, Mr. Bee, Bob, Robby, Marv, and Resistrona are just some of the robots he has built. After the robots, he also built Sparkly and Dusty. With every new robot, the number of games on his BIT console grows as well. We definitely recommend CircuitMess products. They are educational, fun, and encourage creativity, problem-solving, and an interest in technology. A big plus is that instructions are available in Croatian, making the experience even more enjoyable for children.
Fantastic company
Fantastic company! My sons received funding through step up for students. We have purchased many many circuit mess products. They are so much fun to build but even better is when the project is complete and you turn on your circuit mess. So many fun games and dodads to put together. A fun ways to spend any day!!! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗

These kits are made with quality
These kits are made with quality. We loved the NASA Collector's Bundle and a Wheelson 2.0. They were a great way to learn.

Thank you, James. The NASA Collectors bundle is a product that we have really poured our hearts and souls into. I'm so glad to read this review. Thank you. - Albert
Great homeschool STEAM kits!
We are a homeschool family and used CricuitMess kits as part of our STEAM curriculum for the year. The quality of the kits was top notch. As a parent who had no experience with anything even close to this type of work, we were able to very successfully build our kits and build our skills! My kids were so excited to do their kits each month.

Thank you for your review, Dana! I'm really glad we have been able to make the learning experience a bit more interesting. I founded this company because I wanted to have these products when I was a child. School, unfortunately, was not always fun and did not have these practical elements, so I'm really glad to hear this and read your review. Thank you for supporting our company. I really appreciate it! - Albert
It's worth it
It's very affordable, really easy instructions, and they were very attentive when it came to customer service

9 year old loves building with CircuitMess
My kid loved his kits and after a bit of help on the first kit was able to build all on his own with help from the clear guides online

Great customer service and communication!
Great customer service. Unfortunately my nasa artemis watch stopped working overtime due to a battery and charging issue. I contacted customer support and they sent me a brand new one, free of charge. I would highly reccomend buying from circutmess, they have high quality kits that are fun and easy to assemble, aswell as amazing customer service and great employees. 10/10 would reccomend!
Reply from CircuitMess2026-08-06
I sincerely apologize for the fact that your watch stopped working. I'm glad that this has been fixed. I will look into the quality of the battery charging circuits with my manufacturer, and thank you for leaving this review. - Albert, CircuitMess, founder
Great way to learn and play
These kits are truly fun, they work and you learn as you go. Much better than learning from books and at the end you have a cool gadget or toy. We keep coming back for more, highly recommend.
