A Hands-On STEM Tool For Teaching Creativity, Collaboration, Critical and Computational Thinking

We described this resource as Legos on steroids, but the creator corrected us, “Arckit is not a toy, it’s a tool” developed by architects for architects and adapted for use in the classroom. If you’re looking for a hands-on, engaging STEM resource for teaching creativity, collaboration, and critical and computational thinking with precision and real-world application, listen to our ten-minute FAQ with the founders, followed by our ed tech review and rating.

ARCKIT is a freeform architectural modeling system that allows you to physically explore designs and bring your ideas to life with speed and precision. Based on modern building techniques and a 1.2m/4ft grid to scale, the ‘click and connect’ modular components make it possible to create a vast range of structures that can be quickly assembled, endlessly modified, and finished to perfection. Perfect for STEAM learning, architects, hobbyists, students, and children.
