Stick ’Em helps teachersunlock hands-onlearning in class
Without extra work or big budgets!
Quick note from our founders
We’ve been working with 3800+ teachers since 2020
When we were working as STEAM teachers ourselves, we realised that most STEAM kits out there were not designed to help teachers reduce their workload, but instead created a lot of stress, were really expensive, and did not integrate well into classroom contexts around the world. That's why we started Stick 'Em!
3800+Teachers trained
41,000+students
22Countries
Government schools, international schools and village schools, on every kind of budget
Key things we’re proud of
Affordable for all schools
5 to 10 times cheaper than traditional STEAM kits and EdTech platforms, so even a school on a tight budget can equip a whole year group.
Every teacher can run it
No specialist, no lab and no robotics background needed. Teachers run Stick ’Em lessons on their own, and can train their colleagues too.
Stick ’Em schools keep using us
Schools that start with one year group usually come back for the next. The connectors last 2 to 3 years, and chopsticks are the only thing you replace.
Ready for class in about two weeks
Kits arrive 12 to 14 days after you order, and one 3-hour certified workshop gets your teachers ready to run their first lesson.
Multi-subject usage
Science, maths, languages, humanities and art, not just ICT and robotics. Art and English teachers use it as often as science teachers do.
Curriculum mapping already available
We map our lessons to your national curriculum line by line. 8 countries are done already, and we’ll map yours when you start.
Stick ’Em was created alongside teachers, for teachers ❤️
The Stick ’Em Solution
Stick 'Em is an all-in-one solution that combines hardware, ready-made lesson materials, and certified teacher training that helps you and your fellow teachers to integrate more hands-on learning without the added stress.
Curriculum-alignedLesson materials
Professional developmentFor all teachers!
In classrooms around the world
What it looks like in class
Lessons, CCAs and school events from the last two years. There are hundreds more in the gallery.
Hardware that can be used across multiple subjects
Stick ’Em’s philosophy is that STEAM hardware should never serve just a single purpose.
Our STEAM kit is designed to be used across different classes, for storytelling, prototyping and tinkering.
Stick ’Em Academy:Ready-made lessons for teachers to use immediately
Zero prep work needed, all you need is Stick ’Em Kits and a Projector to run a class!
Build real answers to real problems
Students start from a problem they can see, build something that works, and make it better after watching it fail.
- Design for Disaster Relief
- Learn about Assistive Technology
- Designing an Inclusive Playground
- Design Stray Shelters
- Designing Coastal Protection Strategies
- + 4 more in Academy
Visualise the world and abstract concepts
Mass, force, angles and energy stop being formulas once a student has to build the thing that proves them.
- Investigate Angles
- Explore Earthquakes
- Explore Magnetism
- Investigate Biomimicry
- Explore Bridges
- + 25 more in Academy
Build together, fail together, try again
Every build is a group build, so students share the work, survive a collapse, and learn that the second try usually holds.
- Superhero Fashion Show
- Designing an Inclusive Playground
- Design Stray Shelters
- Discovering your Passion
- Investigate Senses
- + 5 more in Academy
From simple robots to mission-ready machines
Nothing to solder. A class builds a robot that moves in one period, then adds mechanisms, sensors and code.
- Design Battlebots
- Design Explosive Disposal Robots
- Block Coding
- Build an AI Pose-Control Humanoid Robot
- + 38 more in Academy
Demystify emerging technologies
Students train a real vision model and drive a robot with their own body, so AI is something they made, not something that happened to them.
- Build a Computer Vision Model
- Build an AI Pose-Control Humanoid Robot
- Training a Scissor Paper Stone Robot
- Training an AI powered scarecrow
- Training an Automated Trash Sorting Bin
- + 3 more in Academy
Build it, then stand up and present it
Students build first, then pitch it, narrate it and write it up. A reluctant writer suddenly has something to say.
- Writing Procedural Texts for Robots
- Learn about Dragon Boat Festivals
- How to Elevator Pitch
- How to Search for Information
- How to Create a Pitch Deck
- + 2 more in Academy
Make history and culture something you can hold
A drawing machine, a Great Wall, a cultural symbol: students rebuild what they study and say why it was built that way.
- Explore Drawing Robots & Art
- Design Geometric Lanterns
- Build a Music Playing Robot
- Explore the Great Wall
- Exploring Landmarks in Southeast Asia
- + 6 more in Academy
Design artifacts from the future
Recycling, farming, disaster relief. Students prototype the answers to problems that will be theirs to solve.
- Imagining Futuristic Cities
- Imagining Life on Another Planet
- Imagining Human Upgrades
- Imagining Jobs of the Future
- Imagining Schools of The Future

1 Classroom Set = 40 students tinkering
A classroom set comes with 10 individual kits combined into easy-storage plastic bins, which allows you to run hands-on learning for an entire classroom with very little hassle in groups of 3 to 4. One classroom set serves up to 40 students.
- 1 Classroom Set = 10 individual kits
- Up to 40 students, in groups of 3 to 4
- Used across multiple subjects, not just ICT and robotics
- Contains the electronics board, motors, chopsticks and geometric connectors
- Plastic bins make it easy to pack up
- Lightweight and portable
You probably have all four already.
A normal classroom
Ordinary tables are all you need. The building part of a lesson needs no power or internet.
One device per group
A laptop, Chromebook or iPad for every 3 to 4 students, to control their builds over Bluetooth.
A projector
To show the Stick ’Em Academy lesson slides to the whole class.
A little storage space
The whole Classroom Set packs back into its bins at the end of every lesson.
Note: the Sensor Kit is an add-on and is not included in a Classroom Set.
From teachers
Most teachers who use Stick ’Em are not science teachers
After every workshop we ask teachers what they would tell a colleague. This is how they rated it.
“Do it. It’ll change your perception of robotics to a positive one, to something that is actually doable.”
“Common misconception: robotics is hard. But today, it became a myth.”
“I learned that it doesn’t take a robotics teacher to create a robot.”
“Electronics is not as intimidating as I had thought it to be.”
“They were so engaged my Principal had to force everyone out and stop for lunch, lol.”
“Stick ’Em is very easy to use and very kid friendly. Students can learn coding in a few minutes.”
“It makes STEAM interdisciplinary in lessons much easier and visible.”
“No limits to creativity. Can be applied as a module for student engagement in any topic or subject.”
“Program is easy to follow, even for non computer background.”
“At first it may seem challenging because it is a whole new spectrum for us, but it is definitely worth it and easy to learn!”
“Jump out of the box, trust your teammates and put on this ‘trial-and-error’ hat. Enjoy it.”
“Very eye opening and could make STEAM lesson planning more easier.”
Art, English, Mother Tongue and social studies teachers run Stick ’Em lessons as often as science teachers do. You don’t need a STEAM background: every Stick ’Em Academy lesson comes ready to teach, with slides, a materials list, build steps and discussion questions.

One Classroom Set runs a class of 40. Tell us how many classes you want to equip and we send a quote in your school’s name.
2. Get teacher training
A 3-hour workshop in your own hall or lab. Your teachers build a robot, then plan a lesson for their own class, and run it themselves afterwards.
