Piper (Piper Learning, Inc. / Piper LLC) is an educational-technology company that makes hands-on STEM learning kits — most notably the Piper Computer Kit, a buildable wooden computer that teaches circuitry and coding through Minecraft, and Piper Make, a browser-based platform for exploring electronics and Python. Its consumer storefront runs on Shopify and exposes an agent-commerce surface: a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile with an MCP endpoint plus Shopify Customer Account OpenID Connect, letting AI shopping agents search the catalog, build carts, and check out with explicit buyer approval. Surfaced as a 500 Global portfolio company and enriched from its live public agent/discovery surface.
