Our Holiday Engineering Kits
What's Inside Each Kit?
Includes everything you need - including a hands-on workshop!
Each åtisa engineering kit comes with a small-batch 3D-printed lantern, an illustrated storybook, and all the electronics you need to light it up.
No prior experience required — just curiosity and time to explore.
Each kit also includes a complimentary workshop, offered in person for San Diego families or virtually for everyone else.
Build together. Snap the lantern into place.
Read together. Explore the cultural story behind your design.
Code together. Use our beginner-friendly coding tool to program lights, sounds, and motion.
Hi! We're Kylie and Manisha.
We’re on a lifelong mission to put community and humanity back into tech.
For over a decade, our work through our nonprofit Code With Her has focused on building creative coding programs centered on belonging and real-world experiences. That work shaped everything we do: tech should feel human, welcoming, and rooted in the stories that shape us.
åtisa is our way of carrying that work forward.
If these traditions are yours, we hope these kits help you connect with them in a new way.
If they’re new to you, we hope they bring the world a little closer and spark a connection you didn’t expect.
Give Light Initiative
Stories that brighten your home — and someone else’s future.
Give Light is how we fund free, community-based coding workshops for students who need them most. As part of this initiative, the storybooks that normally accompany our engineering kits are also available on their own.
When you purchase any book — Coding Pasko, Coding Christmas, Coding Chanukah, or Coding Kwanzaa — 100% of proceeds fund free, community-based coding programs.
Supporters also receive early access to next year’s new kits as a thank you for helping keep this work alive.
It’s a simple way to bring culture and curiosity into your home while helping others discover their own spark.
