Strawbees STEAM Classroom Construction Kit

The Strawbees STEAM Classroom Kit is the ultimate hands-on learning toolbox, designed to inspire an entire classroom of young creators. With over 4,000 pieces, this kit provides everything students need to collaborate, experiment, and engineer together.

From building towering cityscapes and rollercoaster tracks to exploring geometry with a pyramid structure or testing engineering principles with moving mechanical arms and claws, students can bring bold ideas to life at scale. The color-coded connectors and flexible straws make complex builds intuitive and approachable, while still challenging learners to think critically and creatively.

To support educators, the kit is paired with Strawbees Classroom, a digital hub filled with standards-aligned lessons and activities. Teachers can guide students through structured challenges or encourage open-ended exploration, seamlessly integrating concepts across science, math, art, and engineering.

Designed for collaboration, the Classroom Kit fosters teamwork, communication, and problem-solving as students plan, build, test, and reimagine their creations. With enough materials for every student to get hands-on, it transforms the classroom into a dynamic makerspace where learning happens through play, invention, and discovery.

The Strawbees STEAM Classroom Kit turns any lesson into an adventure in creativity and innovation—empowering the next generation of makers and problem-solvers.

Creative Thinking, Imaginative Inventing

The STEAM Classroom Kit works on the Strawbees building system of 4 types of connectors and 5 different straw lengths. It allows students to build creative thinking skills and invent anything you can imagine:

• Play = Learning – students can build creative thinking skills to invent anything you can imagine.
• Self-Oriented Learning – wherever you implement Strawbees, resources on Strawbees Classroom allow for teachers, librarians and more to learn along with step by step instructions.
• All materials are custom-made, durable, and reusable – finish building, disassemble, and begin a new project which is ideal in a classroom setting.

Versatile System for Rapid Prototypes

Strawbees' versatile system is perfect for rapid prototyping. Students can quickly create anything from mechanical structures to geometric shapes and beyond - developing creative thinking skills as they bring their ideas to life.

Unlimted Building for the Entire Class

With an abundant supply of materials, an entire class can build structures of any scale or dimension - large enough to fit multiple students inside, yet lightweight enough to lift. Alternatively, students can work in groups to create various projects simultaneously.

With the backbone of Strawbees Classroom, educators can find simple, curriculum aligned lessons with printable PDF resources available with no student login needed.
