Pre-order FAQ

When will kits ship?
The founder batch fulfills on a rolling basis, first-reserved first. You'll get an estimated window when you reserve, and a confirmation before we charge and ship.
Is it safe for a 13-year-old?
Yes. The kit uses non-pathogenic, education- and food-grade organisms, an eye-safe LED light module (no lasers), and sealed handling. We recommend adult setup for the first culture. See our safety page.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The neural cellular automaton app is fully no-code — you draw a shape and the model learns to grow it. Coding-curious users can dig into the parameters, but it's never required.
What keeps it useful after the first project?
12+ guided projects plus open-ended capstones, affordable culture/media refills, and an app that keeps adding shapes and tools. The chamber and light module are reusable for years.
Can I cancel my reservation?
Anytime before your batch ships. Reserving places a $0 hold; you're only charged when you confirm before fulfillment.
Do you ship internationally?
The founder batch ships to the US first, with additional regions opening as we scale. Reserve now and we'll confirm availability for your address.
