This bundle includes all the digital Strawbees lessons, enabling kids to use the Robotics board and add robotic capabilities to Strawbees projects with the micro:bit V2. It even includes one year of access to Strawbees Classroom for one teacher, the entire building and coding solution (nomicro:bits), challenge cards, and a storage unit.
1-year of access of to Strawbees Classroom for one teacher: Start exploring Strawbees Classroom, a digital Strawbees platform made for teachers by teachers. The curriculum-aligned, class-ready lessons help teachers get started with invention-based instruction quickly and easily.
STEAM School Kit: The most massive Strawbees construction kit yet provides kids with over 4,000 pieces—enough for an entire class. They can build a large cityscape, a rollercoaster track for balls to run through, a large pyramid structure taller than you, and create moving mechanical arms and claws. The building set comes with five different sizes of pre-cut straws and four types of color-coded connectors in a storage box with pull-out material trays for extra organization.
2 Robotic Inventions for the micro:bit - 10 Packs: (Note: this bundle does not include micro:bits). Integrate any existing classroom packs of micro:bits with a Robotic Inventions board and add various new robotic capabilities to Strawbees inventions. Your Robotics board includes two RGB LEDs and enables students to attach up to three servo motors to any Strawbees project.
Students can create programs in Microsoft's block-based MakeCode coding platform, upload them, and remove it from the computer to run on batteries.
Pocketful of Ideas Card Deck: This booklet comes with100+ story-based challenges. Students can even enter to win a prize through the monthly #strawbeeschallenge.
