Straw Structures

Pre-K-5th

$122.00

Learners build

A rebuildable structure that uses straws, connectors, and geometry to balance strength and shape.

Learners start by connecting straws into stable frames, then test how triangles, supports, and different arrangements change the structure.

From there, they can redesign it as a tower, bridge, shelter, sculpture, flexible frame, or collaborative build that keeps getting stronger.
