My Project

These "Brain Flakes" have so many possibilities for exploring construction and creativity! They are very colorful and appealing to kids of all ages and are easy to use, but not too easy to use.

Students would be able to complete STEM challenges by linking the brain flakes together to create amazing engineering designs.

I love that the pieces come in a neat plastic container for easy usage and storage.

Students would be able to create builds for topics such as climate and the environment, insects, and transportation, or even create their own designs using their imaginations.
