Problem
There are nearly a billion children growing up without access to quality STEAM Education. There are two main reasons behind this:
- Current STEAM Education systems are either too expensive or too complex.
- There are not enough teachers for STEAM education. After all, if you can teach coding and robotics, you probably won’t be teaching in a public school.
Our Solution
Every child should have a chance to engage their inner curiosity meaningfully.
We’re empowering kids to build the craziest things with our intuitive and affordable STEAM kit and digital ecosystem, unleashing every child’s true creative potential, no matter their background!
With our hands-on challenges and educational e-learning platform, we teach kids how to become a better problem solver through fun, challenge based learning.
Introducing Stick 'Em!
Stick 'Em STEAM Kit
Stick ‘Em comes with a super intuitive and affordable STEAM Kit that enables kids to start building amazing inventions in a day!
Stick 'Em Dojo
Pairing the Kit with the Stick ‘Em Dojo Platform provides your kid with endless hours of fun and learning as they explore, design and build fantastic creations everyday!
A super intuitive and affordable STEAM Kit that enables kids to build amazing inventions and unleash their creativity every day! Geometric connectors, electronics and sensors will bring their ideas to life like never before.
Intuitive and Versatile!
Stick-Connector System
The Stick ‘Em STEAM Kit features an easy-to-use stick-and-connector system that makes building shapes, structures, and mechanisms feel natural and fun.
Pieces snap together with a simple push-to-connect, pull-to-remove design, held in place with just the right amount of friction. They’re sturdy enough to stay together, but still easy for kids to take apart and rework as they build, tinker, and explore!
Electronics and Sensor Integration
Our electronics, servos, and sensor system unlock a whole new world of learning and play! With these tools, kids can go beyond static builds to create moving machines, from simple cars and cranes to complex robots that mimic the behavior of real-life cleaning bots at home. It’s hands-on STEM learning, powered by imagination!
Build With Anything
Stick ‘Em is an open system, which means kids are encouraged to get creative and hands-on by adding everyday materials to their builds! Whether it’s cardboard, tape, glue, or even plastic bottles — if you can punch a hole through it, it can be part of the creation. The messier, the better!
Keeping it Affordable!
Cost Considerations
In our mission to make STEAM education accessible to all, we focused on crafting a kit that’s not only robust but also incredibly affordable.
Through countless iterations of designs, materials, and manufacturing methods, we created a kit that costs nearly ten times less than a typical LEGO Robotics Kit, without cutting corners on quality.
By optimizing for mass injection moulding, experimenting with innovative mould designs, using off-the-shelf components, and sourcing cost-effective electronics, we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible — bringing powerful, hands-on STEAM learning to more kids than ever before.
Staying Safe and Strong!
Safety Considerations
Safety is at the heart of everything we do, especially when designing for kids. That’s why we over-engineered our parts to meet the highest safety standards, including ISO 8124-1:2022.
Step on it, bite it, or drop it — our connectors are built tough and won’t budge. Our power banks are protected with multiple safety features housed in a durable casing, and all electronics are kid-proofed to make sure there are no surprises!
That said, since assembling the kit does require a bit of strength, we recommend Stick ‘Em for kids aged nine and up.
Stick ‘Em Dojo Platform provides kids with endless hours of fun and learning as they explore, design and build fantastic creations everyday. Sign up now and start building today!
Educational & Creative Challenges!
Challenge Design and Pedagogy
Stick ‘Em Dojo offers kids a steady stream of fun, hands-on challenges they can complete using their STEAM kit! Each activity is thoughtfully designed with a clear learning framework to ensure meaningful outcomes:
Hands-on problem-solving and critical thinking
Inquiry and project-based learning (PBL)
Alignment with the national curriculum
Paired with our daily motivation system that keeps kids coming back for more, Stick ‘Em Dojo fosters consistent, self-directed learning, without ever compromising on fun!
Rewards
By tapping into multiple reward streams, Stick ‘Em Dojo keeps kids motivated and engaged. From milestone-based systems like streaks and badges, to social motivators like likes and shares on their original creations, every interaction feels rewarding. And when a submission meets our quality standards, kids earn a coveted gold star—an extra boost of recognition to keep them coming back, excited to learn and create!
Build a Community!
Leaderboards and Tournaments
With leaderboards and tournaments in the mix, kids can go head-to-head with their friends to see who’s racking up the most milestones or whose awesome creations are winning the spotlight! By turning learning into a friendly competition, we tap into their drive to be the best, while keeping things exciting, social, and seriously fun.
Public Showcases
When kids submit their work, top creations get a chance to shine on our Showcase Page: a special spot for the dojo’s coolest, most creative projects! It’s not just a confidence boost; it’s also a source of inspiration. By seeing what others have made, kids are encouraged to dream bigger, build better, and be part of a creative, supportive community that lifts each other up.
Safe and Fun!
Permissions and Safety
Because Stick ‘Em Dojo is built for kids, safety is our top priority. That’s why we’ve implemented a two-layer permission system to make sure only safe, appropriate content gets featured publicly.
First, kids must give clear permission to share their work. Then, before anything goes live, our Stick ‘Em admins carefully review each submission through our admin dashboard to screen for any safety concerns.
This way, we ensure Stick ‘Em Dojo stays a safe, supportive, and fun space where kids can learn, create, and share with confidence.
Let's bring STEAM education to EVERY child!
We’d like to sincerely thank our capstone mentor, Dr. Teo Tee Hui, our industry mentor, Mr. Aditya Batura, and our writing instructor, Dr. Susan Wong, for their invaluable guidance and support. This project would not have been possible without you. Thank you!
