Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kids are having a blast assembling and playing with Wheelson and ByteBoi.
Hi Nikola,
Thank you for taking the time to write something this thorough. Reviews like yours are the ones that genuinely help another family decide, so it is appreciated well beyond our own team.
You are right that support is where we try to make the difference. Products can be copied; how you treat someone when something goes wrong cannot be. I will make sure the people who helped you see this.
Thank you for being part of the community, and enjoy the next build.
Hi Hazel,
Thank you. Time spent at the table with your son, soldering iron between you, is really the product here. The kits are mostly a good excuse for it.
Glad you have built so many together, and thank you for taking the time to write this.
Hi Andrew,
This is great to read. Chatter was designed for exactly what you describe: something that keeps handing kids a reason to come back and change it, rather than a build-it-once project that ends up in a closet. Hearing that your 8 and 10 year old keep returning with new coding ideas is about the best feedback we could get.
The neighbourhood kids wanting in is a good sign too. If yours want to push the coding further, our guides go quite a bit deeper than the starter projects, and support can point you at the right ones.
Thank you for the kind words.
几年前,我们购买了 Clockstar 套件、Circuit Pet 和带有护目镜的焊接套件,主要是希望我的儿子会发现电子产品有趣,而且它的效果比我预期的要好。
说明非常清楚,他基本上可以自己遵循:真正的焊接,真正的组件,以及打开自己组装的东西时真正的满足感。突出的是,这些套件的设计目的是为了易于理解,而不仅仅是组装,我的孩子一直在问这些零件的实际用途,而材料则支持了这一点,而不是掩盖它。
两年过去了,我们都还在焊接,这个爱好就是从这里开始的。如果您正在为好奇的孩子寻找一种动手操作电子产品的方法,那么这是真实的东西,而不是玩具版本。

Hi Marc,
Two years on and you are both still soldering. That is the review we would frame if we could.
Clockstar, Circuit Pet and a soldering kit is a great run to start on, and you put your finger on the thing we fight for in every manual: explaining what the parts actually do instead of just telling you where to put them. It costs a lot more pages, but it is the whole difference between assembling something and understanding it.
Thank you for taking the time to write this.
Hi Willett,
Backing the MakerPhone Kickstarter in 2019 and still building with us today means a great deal, so thank you.
The line about understanding a little more about our technical world than when you started is exactly the goal. That is also the part that is easiest to lose when you are chasing something that looks good on a shelf, so we push hard to have both. Good to know it comes across.
Thank you for sticking with us all these years.
Hi Alex,
Thank you for the kind words. Passing a DIY habit down to nieces and nephews is one of our favourite things to hear about, and honestly it is close to why the kits exist in the first place.
If they get hooked and you are wondering what to build next, drop our support team a line and we will point you at something that fits their level.
Hi Tod,
Thank you for the review, and sorry for the friction with the discontinued kits. That one is on us.
The forum has genuinely saved the day more than once in situations like that, and the people answering there deserve a lot of credit for it. Glad you got what you needed and enjoyed the process along the way.
If you ever hit a wall with an older kit, write to us directly too. We usually still have the answers, and sometimes we still have the parts.
Hi John,
Thank you for this. Watching a kid's soldering actually get better from one kit to the next is the best possible outcome for us, and the fact that you two have been tackling the harder ones together makes it even better.
I will pass your words on to the support team as well. They will be glad to hear it.
Happy building to you both.
Hi Izzie,
We are so glad to hear how much you appreciate the hands-on building and coding experience. Helping our builders experience that unique pride of constructing and personalizing their own technology is at the very core of what we do. It is also wonderful to know that our support team was able to provide a smooth experience for you!
Thank you for being such a valued part of the CircuitMess community, and we hope you have an absolute blast with your next build!
Hi Martin,
We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our support team and that your Bit 2.0 arrived quickly. It is fantastic to know that you're enjoying Blocks it is definitely an addictive classic!
Hi Melissa,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review!
We are so glad to hear that your son had a great time building the Mars Rover. Providing quick, human support whenever a builder needs a hand is something we take great pride in, so it means the world to know we were able to help out smoothly.
Thank you for your recommendation and for being a part of the CircuitMess community!
Hi Andrew,
We are delighted to hear that you and your son had such a great time building and programming the Artemis Smartwatch together. It is fantastic that he is already diving into customisations and making the watch his own and of course, keeping track of the time while doing it!
We are also glad our customer support team was able to help you out quickly with that watch control. Creating engaging, high-quality experiences for young builders and providing dependable support along the way is what we strive for every day.
Dear Mauro,
Thank you for sharing your story with us!
To answer your question regarding advanced coding: yes, absolutely! Your daughter won't be limited to block-based coding. Advanced users can write custom code directly from their laptops using:
MicroPython: Great for text-based programming, giving her direct control over the board's components and logic using Python.
Arduino IDE: Ideal for traditional C/C++ programming. She can write, compile, and upload her own custom firmware entirely offline.
We are also glad to hear that your order arrived quickly and safely down in Australia!
Thank you again for your kind words.
Hi Jenn,
We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying our products and that our customer service team was able to support you whenever you needed a hand. Knowing that our efforts make a positive difference for our builders means the world to us!
Hi Jess,
We are so glad to hear that your child is enjoying our kits and diving into the world of coding and electronics. Bringing complex technology to life in a way that is fun and accessible for young builders is at the core of everything we do. Knowing that our efforts and integrity resonate with you means the world to our team.
Thank you for being such a loyal member of the CircuitMess community over the years. We can't wait to see what your young engineer builds next!
Hi Franco,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review!
Hearing that your son enjoyed his birthday build and hasn't been able to put it down since brings a huge smile to our entire team. We always aim to treat our builders like real people rather than just ticket numbers, so knowing that our support lived up to your expectations during a time-sensitive moment means everything to us.
Thank you for being such a valued part of the CircuitMess community over the years. We can't wait to share our upcoming releases with you and your son for your next building sessions together!
Dear Nicholas,
Thank you for leaving a review!
We are so glad to hear that you are having fun with our kits and learning new skills. We are also happy that our team could quickly help you out with the shipping issue.
Thank you for being part of the CircuitMess community!
Hi JM,
Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review!
We are so happy to hear that you and your 4-year-old daughter had such a great time building the Mars Rover together. There is nothing quite like that moment of magic when a kit comes to life after all the hard work putting it together!
Hi Isaiah,
I'm Albert, the founder and CEO of CircuitMess, and I'm sorry — this is not how we should have treated you.
You returned everything unopened, we confirmed the return, and then we left you chasing us for weeks with promises that didn't hold and, worse, silence when you followed up. That's on us. You shouldn't have had to write this review to get movement.
Where things stand: your full refund has now been processed back to your original payment method and should land within a few business days. I've also just sent you a personal email — please check your inbox (and your spam folder, in case it landed there). I saw that you opened a dispute with your bank, and I want to make sure the refund and that dispute don't collide and leave you tangled up, so let's sort out the details directly from there.
We got this wrong, and I'm using it to fix how we handle returns so the next person doesn't go through the same thing. Thank you for holding us to account.
Albert
Founder & CEO, CircuitMess
