CuriousMinds started life at the kitchen table. Originally we were online only and featured a wide range of science, nature, space, & technology products, toys, kits, and gifts for the science enthusiast. We made our name by ensuring our range was curated for scientific integrity by our helpful & friendly scientifically trained staff.
A Note from our CEO
Welcome to Curious Minds – Sparking Curiosity!

From chemistry sets and electronics kits to mesmerizing glass prisms, gyroscopes, Newton’s cradles, orreries, praxinoscopes, solar radiometers, solar system models, triops, and beyond, our collection is designed to inspire explorers of all ages.
Since launching from the kitchen table, we’ve grown to include an online store and a fabulous retail shop, allowing us to bring you an even broader selection of hands-on tools for discovery. Our focus? Curiosity-driven, interdisciplinary learning with a nod to sustainable living.
As a scientist with a deep love for asking questions and finding answers, I’m thrilled to lead the Curious Minds team in curating high-quality, engaging products that we believe will delight you.
