STEAM Kits

Learn by building
real worlds.

Our kits don't simulate learning — they simulate the world. Each kit places learners inside the role of a scientist, engineer, or designer and lets them discover knowledge the way professionals do: by needing it.

The kit philosophy

A simulated world is the most honest teacher.

Traditional STEM kits teach isolated skills: here's a circuit, here's a chemical reaction. artineer kits do something different — they place the learner inside a complete, working simulation of a real professional world.

Inside a kit, learners don't "do a biology activity." They become biologists — with real equipment, real organisms, and a real research question. The knowledge they need appears when they need it. That's how it sticks.

No discipline walls. Biology meets computation meets design — because that's how those fields actually work in the world.

No prerequisite knowledge

Every kit is designed for learners with no background — the kit teaches everything it needs.

Real organisms and materials

Not plastic simulations. Real biology, real physics, real consequences.

Research-backed

Every kit is born from peer-reviewed research and tested in real educational settings.

Antidisciplinary by design

Each kit blends at least three disciplines — because real problems don't respect subject lines.

The kits

From the lab, into your hands.

Featured Kit · by funguy.ai

Mycelian Micro

Design a pattern in software. Assemble a working DIY laser printer from scratch. Inoculate an agar plate with Mucor fungus. Watch the organism grow your exact design in 1–2 days — engineering, biology, and computational design in a single loop.

Born from peer-reviewed research published at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Art Papers, Tokyo. Presented at MIT ACT Cube and BioFabricate Global Summit. Winner of the ReEarth International Art Prize — a global award exploring climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability — with works exhibited in Venice, Auckland, and Sharjah, UAE, reaching over 40,000 visitors.

Ori-TENG Kit

Cut, layer, and fold materials by hand to build your own triboelectric nanogenerator — no 3D printer needed. Bond conductive layers with adhesive, cut tessellation patterns, then fold them into structures that generate electricity from pressure and movement. Demonstrated by retrofitting a pair of shoes: every footstep harvests enough power to run onboard gait sensors — completely self-powered. Based on peer-reviewed research published at UIST 2025.

ALife Studio Kit

Use language to interact with a virtual ecosystem and watch populations evolve in real time — natural selection, genetic drift, speciation — triggered by your own words. Abstract biology becomes something you cultivate, not just study. Based on peer-reviewed research published at SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 Art Papers.

PlantwormSim Kit

Connect real plants to soft robotic "earthworm" agents embedded in soil. Plant electrical signals modulate robotic behavior through cellular automata rules — no commands, just coupling. An ongoing research project in multispecies ecological computing.

Why antidisciplinary?

Real problems don't live
inside subject lines.

Every artineer kit blends at least three disciplines — because that's the structure of the problems worth solving.

Build the science

Real experiments with real results. Mycology, chemistry, physics — whatever the world of the kit demands.

Engineer the tools

Build the machines and instruments the work requires. Mechanics, electronics, optics — by hand.

Design the outcome

Every kit produces something beautiful, shareable, and yours — not just a report, but an artifact.
