Take your learning to orbit with the CircuitMess Discovery, a hands-on DIY electronics kit inspired by the legendary NASA Space Shuttle Discovery. Designed to celebrate one of the most iconic spacecraft in history, this kit gives builders the chance to assemble their own interactive shuttle while learning practical electronics, engineering, and STEM skills along the way.
 
Discovery is part of the CircuitMess space collection and is built as an educational project that combines real assembly with a genuine understanding of how electronic systems work. It is ideal for students, young makers, and anyone with an interest in space exploration, technology, and hands-on building.
 
Unlike the Artemis Smartwatch, the Discovery kit does require soldering. Builders will need to solder components including LEDs, switch connections, and structural PCB joints during assembly. The project uses beginner-friendly through-hole components and large solder pads, making it suitable for learners who want to develop real soldering skills without the complexity of advanced electronics projects.  
 
The finished model creates a detailed mini display version of the Space Shuttle Discovery, complete with illuminated thruster-style LED effects powered by a CR2032 battery system. It serves as both a display model and a practical introduction to soldering, circuit assembly, and electronic design. The kit includes the PCB structure, LED components, switch, and battery holder, though the CR2032 battery is often sold separately depending on supplier.  
 
Perfect for STEM education, workshops, gifts, and aspiring engineers, Discovery offers a far more engaging experience than a simple static model by turning the build process itself into the lesson.
 
Soldering Required: Yes – beginner-friendly soldering is required for assembly.
