Where Engineering Concepts Come to Life
Blueprint Engineering brings mechanical and electrical engineering into the classroom through 355 mechanical parts and 17 electrical Bits that students can rapidly assemble, test, and rebuild in a single class period. With 100+ hours of standards-aligned lessons covering simple and compound machines, control systems, and digital electronics, it scales from beginners to advanced learners without requiring any coding. CAD support through SolidWorks, OnShape, and STEP files further connects hands-on builds to real engineering workflows.
