Fossils, specimens, artifacts: You never know what extraordinary finds will turn up in each monthly delivery of a subscription that will thrill scientists, inventors, teachers, and anyone who’s curious about the universe around us.

  • Terry Mudge and his team search the planet for the most fascinating materials that science has to offer (from prehistoric fossils to cutting-edge materials fresh out of the lab) and curates them into exciting gift boxes delivered by month.
  • This is real science, not toys—each monthly delivery is packed with authentic items such as archaeological discoveries, botanical specimens, geological samples, and more.
  • Every gift is a genuine surprise package with an exciting and unpredictable new collection.
  • Includes research cards for each item in the box to provide a starting point for personal exploration.
  • Created for grown-up science enthusiasts.
  • Choose a three- or six-month subscription.
  • The retail price is an up-front, one-time fee for all months of the subscription. The first gift will be shipped according to the lead time displayed on this page and in your order confirmation email. Subsequent gifts will be shipped monthly for the length of the subscription.
  • Each delivery will include items hand-selected for that month’s assortment; products will vary from what is pictured.
  • Assembled in Oklahoma.

Due to the nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Terry Mudge built his business on something that didn’t exist—a science shop for grown-ups. “It seems like every science product is marketed exclusively for kids,” he explains. Leaving the safety of his career as a cryogenicist, Terry opened a store in his native Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2016 and launched a subscription box two years later. “Both times I created something specifically for the niche audience that I belonged to,” Terry says, “and both times that audience quickly embraced it."
