Details

Build and code robots that move! The Strawbees Robotic Inventions Project Pack integrates Strawbees construction with the micro:bit.

Effortlessly connect servo motors, explore the micro:bit's pixel light array, and craft robots or mechanical structures such as a crane. Using MakeCode’s beginner-friendly block-based coding, students can quickly program their projects and run them independently via battery power. In Strawbees Classroom (digital resources hub) you will find tons of activity inspiration!

Please note that the Robotic Inventions Project Pack is an add-on to the Strawbees straws and connectors sets. You must have Strawbees AND you must have your own micro:bit(s) to bring the project pack materials to life. See the Starter Bundle or the Classroom Solution if you don't already have Strawbees and micro:bits.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

Jesse C.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

Robert C.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

Mischelle F.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
