Strawbees Sustainablities Stations allow for the use of any plastic waste to create a student's own set of connectors, making the perfect sustainable building toy creator. The Sustainability Station is a durable hand-operated machine that will last for many years and make precise connectors shapes providing learners with the opportunity to create their own set. The dies will cut through cardboard, chipboard, plastic sheets, and more with ease.
Learning by doing isn’t good enough. Learning by trying is the future. Strawbees believe in developing students’ creative confidence and love of technology so they can make sense of the world and solve new problems. Knowing how to build, explore, test, and experiment are vital because breakthroughs don’t come gift-wrapped. The Strawbees Sustainability Station is a lynchpin to real-world connections, providing students with multiple opportunities to make connectors out of anything like plastic bottles, cardboard, paper, and even leaves!
Strawbees are the glue that binds technologies, materials, and mindsets. A Sustainability Station would provide students with the opportunity to participate in a community while developing and strengthening their team-building and leadership skills. This activity includes even the most reluctant learner, giving a hands-on, authentic connection to their world! Strawbees bridges today with tomorrow. Strawbees serve as a connector in more ways than one! Strawbees - From ABC to CCC - Complex problem solving, Critical thinking, and Creativity!
The Sustainability Station would be included in the ACMS 6th-grade ACES program. Students would participate in a six-week rotation using the Sustainability Station to up-cycle any plastic waste to create their own set of connectors, building the perfect sustainable creation. The possibilities are endless!
The Sustainability Station would benefit the entire sixth-grade team/student body. Every student would be given the opportunity to participate in a six-week ACES Recycling/Sustainability class, using the Sustainability Station to create, build, and explore while making connections to their world.
