Early Engineering Learning, in a Snap
Blueprint Snap gives students 280+ colorful, easy-to-connect parts to build working prototypes in under an hour, with no glue, screens, or batteries required. Students follow build instructions, apply design thinking, and iterate on their designs just like real engineers, while exploring trusses, gears, pulleys, and other mechanical components. Aligned to STEL and NGSS standards, it also pairs with Sphero robots like BOLT+ to bring student-built worlds to life and lays the foundation for more advanced engineering learning.
