About us
Hello Innovators! Welcome to Wonderboxed, where the wonders of STEM and Play collide!
Wonderboxed is a mobile STEM education program that provides immersive, hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experiences for preschool through middle school students. Through our in-school field trips, community STEM Clubs, and Pop-Up STEM Clubs hosted across Florida, we create accessible, inclusive, and family-centered learning environments that increase STEM exposure, confidence, and participation for children ages 2–13—including neurodiverse learners and those with limited access to enrichment opportunities.
We exist to expand access to joyful, real-world STEM learning that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and exposes every child to new possibilities. Our programs are designed to inspire creativity and critical thinking while offering families, schools, and community organizations an affordable and convenient way to engage students in meaningful, memorable learning experiences.
“Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression, and constructive problem-solving. It’s how children wrestle with life to make it meaningful.”
Marie Bestman, M.Ed.
Founder & Lead Innovator
As an educator and mom, I’ve seen firsthand the power of exposing children to STEM-based play early on. That’s why I created Wonderboxed, a mobile STEM field trip service designed to bring hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education directly to preschools and elementary students.
Starting as early as 18 months, my own kids have explored the wonders of STEM, and now I’m on a mission to spark the same curiosity and innovation in other young minds. Through play and exploration, we’re building future scientists, engineers, and problem solvers.
STEM based learning strengthens collaboration and communication skills as students work together on projects, sharing ideas and explaining their reasoning. Ultimately, it ignites a passion for learning and prepares them for a future where STEM literacy is increasingly vital.
