ZAPINKO was born out of a dream to make science exciting and accessible for young minds. With the help of our two lovable characters – Zappy, the Curious Explorer, and Mimy, the Dreamy Scientist – we create science kits and learning tools that transform everyday curiosity into hands-on discovery. Whether at home or in the classroom, ZAPINKO empowers children to explore, experiment, and grow through fun-filled STEM education.

Loved by parents & educators
Nurture curiosity by asking open-ended questions, observing nature together, and letting your child lead the exploration—even if it gets a little messy!
Introducing microscopes early builds observation skills, sparks inquiry, and makes science feel like play. Start with simple slides and encourage “what do you see?” conversations.
Use everyday moments—bathing, baking, or even block-building—as chances to explore cause and effect, patterns, or problem-solving through a science lens.
Mimy has completely amazed my daughter! She's been exploring everything from leaves to her toys-I've never seen her this curious and focused.
Zappy turned our living room into a science lab! My son now collects leaves, bugs, even crumbs-he wants to see everything under his microscope!
