Resellers
Every new shelf is a few hundred more learners.
We build hands-on STEM programs to be opened and used, not to sit in a catalog. The more places they are stocked, the more children get their hands on one — which is the entire reason we want to talk to you.
Why we are having this conversation
Reach is the point. Not the by-product.
Central Creativity has spent years building programs that hold up in the hands of a real teacher, a real camp leader and a real eight-year-old. Every one of them was written by expert educators and built against the standards schools actually teach to. That work only matters at the scale it reaches.
We cannot be in every district, every museum shop and every country ourselves, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Partners who already have those shelves, those catalogs and those relationships can put this in front of learners far faster than we can alone. So we welcome conversations about placing our product lines with the right partner sites.
The catalog
What we would place with you.
Not one product. A catalog with a reason to re-order — a site that stocks one line usually finds the next one sells to the same buyer.
- Classroom TO GOStandards-aligned hands-on kits, built for a teacher to open and use with no preparation.
- Camp TO GOFull camp programs including NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO, Future of Energy, Urban Ecology and Careers in STEM.
- NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO ClubA nine-week after-school club with a LIVE virtual co-teacher every week.
- Lab TO GOLab experiences for sites that do not have a lab.
- STEM Education Series KitsSingle-topic kits across science, engineering, math, coding and literacy.
- Hands-on LiteracyIncluding Around the Neighborhood with EVO and Teaching STEM Through Literacy.
The full range is in our catalog. If a line would need to look different to sit on your shelf, that is a conversation worth having — we are a full-service design house and we build to order.
Who we are looking for
The partner sites that fit.
These are the shapes that have worked, or that we think will. If you are none of them and still think there is something here, say so — the list is a starting point, not a gate.
Education distributors and catalogs
You already sell into schools and districts, and your buyers already have a purchase order open.
Museum, science center and zoo shops
A visitor who just had a good day wants to take the good day home. That is the easiest kit we ever sell.
Education service agencies and co-ops
Regional bodies buying on behalf of many districts at once, usually against a contract cycle.
Specialty and STEM retail
Independent toy, learning and hobby retailers with a section for the things parents actually want to buy.
International distributors
Our programs travel. What needs care is language, standards alignment and shipping, so we would rather work that through with you than guess.
Program operators buying to redistribute
After-school networks, faith and civic organizations and camp operators supplying their own sites.
Where the money goes
We don’t compete on price. We compete on outcomes.
Worth saying plainly to a partner, because it shapes what you would be selling. There is a floor under what a kit like this can cost, and we chose to spend the money on what is inside the box rather than on a lower sticker. That is also the commercial argument: a kit that gets opened, finished and remembered is a kit that gets re-ordered, and a cheap one that stalls halfway through an activity is a return and a bad review.

What sits behind the product
The questions a buyer asks second.
The first question is always the product. The second is whether we can actually supply it, and these are the honest answers.
We run our own fulfillment
Procurement, kitting and shipping are ours, not a subcontractor’s, so a delivery date is something we can hold. 3PL & Fulfillment
We can build to your spec
Your branding on the box, your grade band, your standards. We are a full-service design house. Custom Solutions
Reporting your buyer can show a board
Stakeholder and impact reports turn a program into evidence, which is what gets it funded again. Reporting & Assessment
Help finding the money
Our funding page lists the federal streams that cover work like this, plus 136 national grant programs and 566 state and local ones. Funding & Grants
Training for the adults who deliver the program is available too, which matters when a site buys a program rather than a box and needs it to survive one member of staff leaving.
What a first conversation covers
Short, specific, and not a pitch.
Straight answer on terms.
Which lines fit your shelf, what volumes look like, which territory or channel you cover, how the product is supported after it sells, and what the commercial arrangement would be. We are not going to post a trade price list, because what we would agree with a single museum shop and with a national distributor are not the same arrangement and publishing one number would misrepresent both.
So this page makes you no promise about terms. Tell us what you sell, where you sell it and roughly at what scale, and we will tell you quickly whether there is a fit — including when there is not, which saves us both a quarter.
Other ways to work with us
If reselling is not quite the shape.
Sales affiliates
Represent the catalog into your own school relationships rather than stock it. How that works
Franchising
Run a Central Creativity business in your own area — camps, clubs, events and school relationships. How franchising works
Become a vendor
Supply us rather than sell for us. If you make something that belongs in a kit, there is a route. Becoming an approved vendor
Tell us what you sell and where you sell it.
That is the whole first conversation. If there is a fit we will say so quickly, and if there is not we will say that quickly too.
Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00 Central. A person picks up.
