What are Strawbots? Explore balanced and unbalanced forces in a motorized wiggling machine! Built, test, and iterate on your solution until it moves how you'd like - or connect yours with other Strawbots to create a collaborative mega bot! Promote curiosity, perseverance, and collaboration in this playful engineering design challenge. This project kit is suitable for learners from Grade 2 to middle school.
This playful engineering set containsten individually packaged, ready-to-build 1:1 kits for learners to make and keep. Designed for small group classes, STEM activity stations, or independent exploration, it's a perfect 30 to 45-minute screen-free activity with reusable components.
This rebuildable, reusable, open-ended kit of parts offers learners the opportunity to build structures and circuits in a single project. They will creatively explore and develop unique solutions to make a structure wiggle and move using a motor that creates mechanical vibration. There are opportunities for learners to combine their projects to develop large machines that move in unison!
