Strawbees Robotics Kit
Strawbees Robotics Kit
Embedded Files
The Strawbees Robotics Kit combines creativity, engineering, and coding! Students build unique, hands-on projects using lightweight connectors and straws, then bring their creations to life with motors and sensors powered by the micro:bit.
It’s a fun, open-ended way to learn about mechanics, electronics, and programming through play and experimentation.

Tips
🛠️ Getting Started
🛠️ Getting Started
Start simple: Begin with basic structures (bridges, towers, or simple creatures) before adding motors or sensors. This helps students understand stability and design.
Introduce the micro:bit first: Show how to connect it, upload code, and control outputs before combining it with Strawbees pieces.
💡 Design & Building Tips
💡 Design & Building Tips
Use triangles for strength: Remind students that triangular shapes add rigidity to their builds.
Keep it balanced: When adding motors or moving parts, distribute weight evenly to prevent tipping.
Prototype quickly: Encourage iteration—have students build small models to test motion before creating large designs.
