STEAM and STEM Classroom Supplies
If you're looking at STEM and STEAM materials for classrooms, there are many different options, each of which can help with different learning areas.
Building Sets and Manipulatives
Building sets and manipulatives are great STEAM school supplies for engineering and math activities. We have a wide range of items for your little builders. They can make structures such as bridges, geometric shapes, working gears and even racetracks.Building items include the following:
Other construction sets might use more unique items, such as connecting straws, suction cup tubes or snapping cubes.
Coding and Robotics
As technology becomes more significant in our daily lives, learning coding and robotics skills becomes a greater advantage to students and society in general. We have several products to foster an understanding of coding and get students working creatively. They can learn to program a robotic mouse, teach a robot to draw or use card-based programming to send a robot through different activities. We also carry robot kits for building the device itself and competition and challenge mats with different grids, themes and practice areas.
Activity Kits and Books
Our STEAM and STEM classroom supplies include a range of activities to grab young kids' attention. They can get hands-on experience building circuits or conducting classic experiments with these convenient kits. Most have everything you need to get started with fun, engaging activities.Some of our resources include the following:
