About This Item
Description
The Strawbees STEAM Starter Kit is an inviting introduction to hands-on learning with straws and connectors. Designed for classrooms, makerspaces, and young inventors at home, this kit transforms simple materials into a powerful tool for creativity and problem-solving. With color-coded pieces, children quickly grasp how different connectors and straws fit together, making it easy to get started. The included activity booklet and poster guide learners through playful challenges that spark curiosity and encourage experimentation. The experience of building with Strawbees is open-ended and student-driven. Young makers can design everything from geometric shapes and expressive creatures to large-scale structures that stretch their imagination. In the process, they explore important concepts such as balance, stability, and motion while also practicing persistence, collaboration and creative problem-solving.Features
