What can students create with Brackitz? They can invent anything they can imagine. Brackitz opens a world of discovery and “Aha!” learning with planks and connecting hubs that spark imagination and creativity. They can create 3D structures, simple machines, animals, buildings and more. And as they build, they’re immersed in design thinking, creativity, and the foundations of math, science, architecture and engineering. Research shows they’ll also grow spatial reasoning skills along the way to boost STEAM achievement.
With Brackitz planks and connecting hubs, it’s easy to connect pieces anywhere, at any angle. No barriers. No limitations. The inventions and simples machines kids make are durable and portable. And the learning lasts a lifetime.
From early learning environments to K-8 schools, libraries to community centers, Brackitz can unleash the creativity in every child. Lesson plans make it easy for teachers to integrate Brackitz projects into core learning.
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.

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.
Turn play into learning. Make learning as engaging as play. Brackitz lesson plans have been developed by curriculum innovators and classroom teachers to help you connect hands-on activities with critical math, science, art and engineering concepts and skills.
Our educator-developed lesson plans give you grade-level activities to use in the classroom or library media center. Lesson plans include clear learning objectives, vocabulary, standards alignments (NGSS, Common Core Math and ELA, ECERS-R), along with easy instruction for materials, supplies, setup and preparation. Lessons include whole class and group activities, a group challenge, reflection and ideas for differentiating instruction.
