About Us
Labbox exists to help children move from consuming technology to creating it.
We design a growing library of electronic building blocks that empower kids to understand the science behind everyday technology - circuits, sensors, motors, logic - and turn it into something they can actually build, test, and play with.
Each block has a purpose. Each connection teaches a real concept. And every circuit becomes a new discovery.
From classroom to creation
Founded by Arta Shehu and Fiona Shehu and the team behind jCoders Academy, Labbox was born from years of teaching thousands of children how technology works.
We saw one consistent truth: kids learn best when they build with their hands, break things safely, try again, and see real outcomes. So we set out to create a tool that makes that kind of learning possible everywhere, homes, classrooms, and makerspaces.
What We Do
Engineer real electronics for kids. Our blocks include power, sensors, actuators, and logic elements designed for intuitive play and authentic learning.
Turn complex science into hands-on understanding. Concepts like series and parallel circuits, polarity, resistance, and sensors become easy to grasp because kids build them physically.
Create experiences, not just products. From learning kits to board games to classroom stations, Labbox transforms electronics into stories, challenges, and adventures.
Support teachers and parents. With ready-to-use lessons, activity cards, and visual guides, we make STEM easy to teach, no technical background required.
- Real circuits
- Experience-first learning
- Teacher & parent friendly
Why Labbox Exists
Kids are growing up in a world powered by invisible technology. Yet most STEM tools either oversimplify the science or hide it behind apps and screens. We believe children deserve to understand the real forces powering their world.
That’s why Labbox blocks show polarity, include feedback indicators for mistakes, and use magnetic connectors that make circuit-building intuitive. Kids learn through experimentation, not instructions, and they gain confidence by making things work with their own hands.
To make real electronics accessible, exciting, and empowering for every child, no matter where they live or how much experience they have.
A generation of creators who understand how technology works and feel capable of shaping the world they live in.
Our Story
Labbox began inside the classrooms of jCoders Academy, where we spent years watching children light up, literally and figuratively, when a circuit worked. We saw curiosity, ownership, frustration, resilience, and joy. We saw kids who believed electronics were “too hard” suddenly build alarms, robots, games, and inventions.
We wanted that spark to exist far beyond our classrooms. So we built Labbox: a system where blocks snap together, concepts make sense, and kids discover the power of engineering through play.
Labbox is evolving into a full ecosystem:
- Home learning kits
- Classroom-ready STEM stations
- Story-driven board games with real circuits
- Maker challenges and creative projects
- A global community of young inventors
We’re building tools that inspire kids to think boldly, solve real problems, and explore the world like engineers.
Because the future belongs to creators—and they deserve the right tools to get started.
