Multi-discipline engineering and screen-free makerspace kit for hands-on building, mechanisms, and prototyping across STEM programs
The Nexo Maker Space kit is a complete engineering makerspace launched from a single tub — kids build with nodes and straws, progressing from a first triangle up to a 36-node arch bridge, working through the full engineering design cycle (build, test, fail, improve). Designed to complement, not replicate, the regular school day. Zero prep, no screens, no batteries, no software updates, and reusable year after year (lost pieces are covered by refill packs rather than retiring the whole kit).
