ABOUT MARK
Mark Rober has amassed over 11 billion views by creating incredible
science-focused builds and pranks on his successful YouTube channel, with 67
million subscribers and counting. In the summer of 2022, Rober announced his
secret project, called CrunchLabs, a massive Willy Wonka-style factory of
creativity in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the team creates each original,
buildable engineering toy and the super fun (and science-packed) videos from
scratch with an express focus on getting as many brains as possible excited
about science and engineering.
Since its founding, CrunchLabs has offered a monthly subscription for
kids that delivers original STEM toys and exclusive videos that entertain and
teach STEM principles. Kids can’t get enough - the first run of Build Box sold
out in under a week. Build Box's success paved the way for Hack Pack, the
second product from CrunchLabs that demystifies coding and robotics for teens
and adults with robot-in-a-box builds. Today, there are hundreds of thousands
of subscribers and millions of boxes shipped. Plus, there are a few lucky
subscribers each month who win an expenses-paid trip to hang out with Mark at
his secret lab and more.
Rober is also known for his YouTube videos, including glitter bombing
porch pirates and phone scammers, making mazes for squirrels in his backyard,
the world's largest and smallest Nerf gun, and more. In 2020, he hosted a
Livestream with Jimmy Kimmel called Color the Spectrum, which raised over $3M
to support Autistic Adults in their communities. In 2019, Rober co-founded
#TeamTrees alongside fellow YouTube creator MrBeast, which raised $20 million
to plant 20 million trees. In late 2021, they followed up with #TeamSeas, which
raised $30 million to clean up 30 million pounds of trash and plastic from
rivers, beaches, and oceans.
