Infinite Materials
Transform waste materials into usable building blocks while understanding manufacturing and waste management. Learn about material properties and prototype solutions for environmental issues, and how to integrate sustainable practices in making experiences.
- Unlimited Materials – make endless amounts of Strawbees connectors for building.
- Material Science – make connectors out of anything like plastic bottles, cardboard, paper, and even leaves!
Group Work and Collaboration
Many student resources are designed with purpose for teamwork. Create new projects through shared ideas and understanding while trying to achieve a common goal together.
Use the Sustainability Station for a single or a pair of students at a time when making connectors on the die cutting machine. We recommend pairing students together when creating any project made from a lesson or activity resource in Strawbees Classroom.
