Dear Educator,

We are reaching out to let you know about an upcoming price adjustment on Wonder Workshop hardware, effective October 9, 2025.

Due to a 19% increase in tariffs on imports from the Philippines, our costs have risen significantly. We recognize that school budgets are tight, and this was not a decision made lightly. These adjustments only partially offset the higher costs we are absorbing.

To continue delivering high-quality products and support, we will be making the following changes:

  • Launcher: $29.99 → $34.99 MSRP

  • Sketch Kit: $39.99 → $44.99 MSRP

  • Gripper: $39.99 → $44.99 MSRP

  • Dash Robot: $179.99 → $189.99 MSRP

  • Wonder Pack: $269.99 → $289.99 MSRP

  • Dash 12-Pack: $1,795 → $1,895 MSRP

Bundles that include software (such as Make Wonder subscriptions) will remain unchanged, providing an opportunity to take advantage of savings built into those bundles. .

What this means for you:

  • All quotes issued before October 1 will be honored at current pricing through their expiration date.

  • Any new quotes or orders placed on or after October 9 will reflect the updated pricing.

  • We encourage you to complete your order in September to secure today’s prices.

Our commitment remains the same: helping you bring coding and robotics to your students in the most accessible way possible.

If you have an open quote or need help finalizing an order, our team is here to assist you.

Thank you for your partnership and for all you do to inspire the next generation of problem solvers.

Sincerely,
Bryan Miller
Vice President Strategic Growth & Education Outreach
