The ultimate kit for learning online.
We put together everything a K–12 student needs for learning at home, in a single shipment: a MacBook Neo with Pencil Spaces built in, iPad with Apple Pencil, drawing tablet, document camera, volume-safe headphones, three professional learning courses, and a Surprise Box delivered every month. Ready to use in 30 minutes.
Why families choose it
No deciding which laptop, which tablet, which webcam. We've chosen the kit thousands of families use. Everything works together, out of the box.
Pre-configured with your child's name, age-appropriate parental controls, the apps schools and tutors actually use. You unbox it. They start learning.
Students drop things. Spill on things. Forget things. Damage replacement is included for 24 months. A real person picks up when you call.
Hardware in the kit
Why we built it
Somewhere right now a student is trying to learn fractions on a hand-me-down laptop with a webcam that froze five minutes into the call. Their tutor is asking them to "show your work" but there's no paper, no doc camera, no second screen — just one tab with the worksheet, one with the video call, both fighting for the same six inches.
The student is doing their best. The parent is doing their best. The tutor is doing their best. And the work — the actual learning — is happening in the gaps between things that don't quite work.
We've watched 10 million sessions on Pencil Spaces since 2019. We know what makes a student lean into the screen and what makes them check out. The hardware matters. A laptop fast enough to keep up. A tablet for handwriting. A doc camera that shows the page. Headphones that block the dog. A microphone that picks up the answer.
The students who get the most out of online learning have parents who spent months researching, hundreds of hours assembling, and thousands of dollars buying. Most students don't have that. Most parents don't have the time. The result: a generation of students doing serious learning on hardware that wasn't designed for it.
The Student Kit is the setup we wish every family had. Everything chosen together, configured together, shipped together. $200 a month for 24 months, plus a Surprise Box every month. After that, it's yours. Built so every student can show up the same way — ready to learn.
The Student Kit is built for K–12 students who learn online — homeschoolers, virtual school students, families working with tutors, or any student doing serious learning on a screen. If your student uses a computer for school more than an hour a day, the kit will pay for itself in the first month. If not, Pencil Spaces Free is still here whenever you need it.
The kit
Six categories of gear, plus a Surprise Box every month. One shipment to start. Pre-configured for your child. Set up in 30 minutes. Damage replacement for the full 24-month term.
What's in the kit, and why
What's included beyond the box
A complete learning setup is also setup help, parental controls, real support, and a platform that connects students to teachers and tutors when they need them.
24 months of the learning platform 10 million sessions have run on. Tutor-finding, homework help, AI tutor for tough nights. Normally $20/mo, included here.
Screen Time, app restrictions, content filters, bedtime locks. We set the defaults during onboarding, you adjust anytime.
Your child's name on the lock screen. Apple ID linked to yours. The apps they need, none of the ones they don't. Wi-Fi info ready to type.
A 30-minute video call with you and your child. We show you both how everything connects, where things live, how to ask for help.
Chat that's answered by a human. Email that gets a reply in business hours. Phone if you need it. We are not a chatbot.
Google Classroom, Clever, Canvas, school email. We pre-install what they need, log in once, and they're in.
Through Pencil Spaces Family. Find vetted tutors for any subject, book lessons inside the platform, pay only for sessions taken. No markups.
Three self-paced courses bundled in: AI for Students, Mac Mastery, and Future-Skills. The skills that won't be taught in most schools for another five years.
No buyout. No final payment. Keep using it, or upgrade to the latest kit at the same $200/month. Most families upgrade — the choice is yours.
What it usually costs
A complete student setup at retail costs more than $2,400 upfront. The Student Kit replaces that with $200 a month — and includes things you can't buy on Amazon: a Pencil Spaces subscription, three PD courses, damage replacement, and a Surprise Box every month.
