Strawbees Robotics is a flexible, creative learning system that blends hands-on engineering with electronic programming and mechanical design. Designed for learners aged 6–16, Strawbees introduces students to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in a way that encourages experimentation, critical thinking, and collaborative learning. With its modular construction kits, programmable robotics extensions, and integration with block-based coding platforms like micro:bit and MakeCode, Strawbees offers a powerful way

Ideal for STEAM lessons, after-school programs, design and technology classes, and robotics clubs.
Perfect for hands-on learning environments that emphasize creativity and exploration.
Engages students of all abilities with tactile, visual, and kinetic learning.
Strawbees is flexible enough for home-based learning with structured activity guides.
Strawbees uses reusable plastic connectors and straws to allow students to build structures of any shape or size—from simple geometric forms to large-scale kinetic machines. It’s a construction system limited only by imagination.
Students can bring their Strawbees creations to life with:
Strawbees Robotics Board – Arduino-compatible and beginner-friendly
micro:bit Compatibility – Drag-and-drop programming with MakeCode
Servo Motors and Sensors – Enables movement, light, and interactivity
Strawbees supports integrated learning with challenges that align to:
Engineering design thinking
Physics (forces, balance, energy)
Mathematics (geometry, angles, measurement)
Computer Science (coding, logic, control systems)
Strawbees promotes eco-conscious creativity with reusable, durable materials that encourage long-term use and reduce waste.

No. Strawbees kits are designed to start from basic building and engineering. Coding and robotics can be introduced gradually as students progress
Strawbees Robotics integrates with MakeCode (block-based coding) and Arduino IDE (text-based coding), using micro:bit or the Strawbees Robotics Board.
Yes. All Strawbees parts are made from durable, reusable plastic designed for long-term classroom use.
It depends on the kit: Starter kits: 1–2 students Classroom kits: Up to 30 students Robotics kits: Ideal for small groups (2–4 per set)
Absolutely. Strawbees is modular, scalable, and curriculum-friendly — making it easy to plug into any STEAM, robotics, or maker education plan.
