Tinker with Real Motors, Wood, and Hardware

The best-selling Electric Motors Catalyst includes 50+ high-quality parts that are made to last. It’s more than a toy — real hardware and tools help kids connect the parts with the world around them.

Engage in STEM Learning

The Catalyst gives kids an intuitive sense for STEM principles from electric circuits to forces and friction.

Get Started with Inspirational Challenges

There's no limit to what kids can invent with the Catalyst, but a deck of 10 cards ignites the imagination with challenges like "Build a machine that can scramble an egg."

Create Endless Designs with 100% Reusable Parts

The Electric Motors Catalyst is not a one-time activity or a single project—it’s meant to be made and unmade and remade in as many ways as kids can imagine.
