2025 STEM Choice Awards Educator's Choice – Best Summer Camp
KiwiCo Named Educator’s Choice for Best Summer Camp Resource
Each summer, educators, program leaders, and camp coordinators face the same challenge: how do you keep kids engaged, inspired, and learning when the school doors close? According to afterschool and summer camp professionals across the country, the answer is clear—KiwiCo.
STEMfinity recently surveyed hundreds of educators and enrichment providers to find out which STEM resources truly shine in the summer months. With enthusiasm echoing across the responses, KiwiCo was selected as the 2025 Educator’s Choice Award Winner for Best Summer Camp Resource.
So, what makes KiwiCo the standout? In a word: awesome.
With over 2,000 hands-on projects engineered to spark curiosity and confidence, KiwiCo crafts each kit with a mission to cultivate future innovators and problem-solvers. Every crate is meticulously designed by a diverse team of educators, engineers, makers—and yes, even rocket scientists—who spend over 1,000 hours on each project from concept to final product.
And before anything ships? KiwiCo puts each kit through its most rigorous test: real kids. Feedback is gathered directly from young users to ensure every activity meets one high bar—eliciting a wide-eyed, "WHOA, AWESOME!"
While STEMfinity doesn’t stock every item from KiwiCo’s vast collection, our curated selection features kits that are perfect for classrooms, makerspaces, and summer camps. Whether you’re exploring robotics, creative engineering, or imaginative art-meets-science builds, KiwiCo’s projects are turnkey solutions that captivate and educate—no prep required.
As one camp director shared in our survey, “KiwiCo kits are a lifesaver. Our staff loves the quality, and the kids can’t get enough of them. It’s hands-on learning that actually feels like play.”
If you're looking to level up your summer programming with projects that are fun, educational, and engineered for impact, KiwiCo is the gold standard—and educators across the nation agree.
