Use Brackitz as a center activity, for small groups, whole class STEAM and learning-through-play projects.
Introduce shapes and patterns. Build spatial reasoning. Explore geometric concepts. Brackitz makes essential math and engineering concepts visual and dimensional. As students design structures, create characters, and incorporate motion, they’re ‘doing’ engineering, crafting narratives, and collaborating.
Early Childhood Education
Even the youngest learners can build and explore shapes, objects and structures with Brackitz. These early learning experiences help children learn to solve problems, reason spatially and build critical thinking skills. Brackitz sparks emerging language and communications too, as children talk about what they’re building. For center-based, small group and individual activities, Brackitz captivates kids. Lesson plans and activities for PreK learners make it easy for teachers to introduce early STEAM learning successfully.
K-8
In elementary and middle school classrooms, the library and makerspaces, Brackitz gives learners boundless ways to turn their ideas into authentic learning. From making simple machines to inventing 3-D structures and characters, students design, engineer, build and test their projects. These hands-on explorations deliver important foundations for 21st century skills across the curriculum. Teacher-friendly Lesson plans include vocabulary, assessments, standards alignment and differentiation options so every student can participate in the fun and engagement that Brackitz delivers.Brackitz Works for Educators

Every student benefits from hands-on and project-based learning. It’s the on-ramp to important science, engineering and math learning. And when it’s easy for teachers to use and affordable for classroom and school budgets, that makes it great for principals too. Brackitz is a creative, durable, student-centric addition to every K-8 classroom because it supports experiential, hands-on learning across the curriculum.

When STEAM and design thinking are district-wide priorities, hands-on activities with Brackitz make a great launching pad. PreK-8 students can use Brackitz planks and connecting hubs to invent, design, create and build. Brackitz is affordable, portable and flexible for classrooms, libraries and makerspaces. As students’ skills grow, they can design and build even bigger more remarkable structures, machines, animals, houses, and imaginative creatures. Volume discounts make it easy to provide Brackitz to every elementary and middle school in your district.

From building critical spatial reasoning skills, exploring basic structures, to inventing simple machines, Brackitz supports a range of project-based learning for K-8 STEAM curriculum. And because it’s a modular system, you can start with the Structures base module and then add modules for designing, engineering and building projects that integrate motion and more complex structural systems with mix and match modules.

Libraries have always been the hub of great discoveries. And now, as libraries offer makerspaces and activity centers, Brackitz are growing in popularity because they open a world of creativity for students. Some schools are even purchasing multiple Brackitz sets so teachers can use them in the classroom and students can check them out for home use.
