Overview
Early engineering learning—in a snap! The Blueprint Snap Kit introduces students to structure, motion, and simple machines. With 280+ colorful, easy-to-connect parts, up to two students can build from instructions, apply design thinking, and complete working models in under an hour. It’s a simple, fun way to teach engineering fundamentals through exploration and iteration.
Technical Features
- Standards-Aligned Learning: Includes free cross-curricular lessons, self-guided challenge cards, and resources designed to align with STEL and NGSS outcomes while laying the foundation for more advanced engineering learning
- Problem Solving & Critical Thinking: Students use critical thinking and collaboration to connect trusses, gears, pulleys, and other mechanical components as they test ideas, identify problems, and improve their designs like real engineers
- Fast, Frustration-Free Prototyping: Colorful parts and simple assembly/disassembly let students go from idea to working prototype in under an hour—no glue, screens, or batteries required
- Build a World & Bring It to Life: Students can design everything from bridges to obstacle courses, then use Sphero robots like BOLT+ to explore, race through, or interact with the worlds they’ve built
- Made for the Classroom: Durable parts, organized storage, and a no-tech setup make it easy to implement in any general ed, makerspace, or after school environment
