Introducing Innovation Station Kits: Hands-On Learning Meets Real-World Problem Solving
📦 Introducing Innovation Station Kits: Hands-On Learning Meets Real-World Problem Solving
At Innovation Station, we believe the best way to inspire young minds is by giving them the tools to create, think critically, and solve real-world problems in fun, hands-on ways. That’s why we’re so excited to officially introduce our Innovation Station Kits — a story-driven, invention-focused learning program designed to guide students through the entire design thinking process.
Whether you’re an educator, camp leader, afterschool program coordinator, or a parent looking to spark creativity at home, these kits offer a dynamic, screen-and-supplies experience built around meaningful, engaging challenges.
đź“– What Are Innovation Station Kits?
Innovation Station Kits are a series of four themed invention kits designed to work together as a complete program. Each kit introduces students to a new phase of the invention process through interactive storytelling, decision-making, and hands-on building activities.
The kits follow a design thinking framework, teaching learners how to:
- Identify and understand problems
- Develop creative solutions
- Build prototypes
- Communicate and pitch their ideas
By bundling these kits together, students not only build skills progressively, but also gain confidence in seeing an idea move from concept to creation.
✨ What’s Inside Each Kit?
🔍 Kit 1: Understanding Problems
In this kit, young innovators will learn how to observe their surroundings, ask the right questions, and uncover problems worth solving. Through storytelling, characters encounter everyday challenges — like a ball stuck in a tree or a tricky zipper — and students help identify what’s causing the problem and why it matters.
đź’ˇ Kit 2: Creating Solutions
Once a problem is identified, it’s time to brainstorm! Kit 2 encourages students to think outside the box and come up with a variety of possible solutions. They’ll work through decision-making prompts to choose the best ideas and plan how to bring them to life.
🛠️ Kit 3: Let's Invent! &
🎨 Kit 4: Pitch Your Product
Now for the fun part — building! Kit 3 provides materials and instructions for students to turn their chosen ideas into working prototypes. They’ll test, adjust, and learn that failure is just part of the process.
In the final kit, the inventors take their prototypes and develop a pitch to present their invention. This teaches communication, confidence, and entrepreneurial skills as they explain how their idea solves a real-world problem.

đź“š Why Are the Kits Bundled Together?
Each kit is designed to build on the skills and concepts of the one before it. While they can be used individually, their real power comes from progressing through the full invention process — from identifying a problem to confidently presenting a working solution.
This structured, hands-on journey keeps students engaged, fosters problem-solving, and teaches important life and career-ready skills in a way that’s both fun and meaningful.
