# We make STEAM Education Accessible.

For every school, everywhere.

Stick ’Em is a Singaporean STEAM education social enterprise and winner of the Hult Prize ($1M USD) in 2025, making STEAM education accessible to schools worldwide with low-cost kits, ready-made lessons and teacher training. Founded on 16 September 2020.

## The Stick ’Em Solution

We know that a fantastic STEAM kit alone is not enough to transform a school’s STEAM capacity. Stick ’Em combines pedagogically backed, world class learning materials and teacher capacity building to enable high quality STEAM education in any school!

## Designed to scale

- 41,000+ students
- 3800+ teachers
- Across 22 countries

From top schools in Singapore to floating village schools in Sabah and remote schools in Uganda, Stick ’Em kits are designed to be deployed in any classroom, anywhere.

## One STEAM kit, hundreds of different builds

Stick ’Em runs in art rooms, English classes, history lessons and science labs, not just robotics club.

The kit builds a catapult for physics, a dragon boat for history and a drawing machine for art!

## Stick ’Em Academy: 100+ ready-made lessons for every classroom

### Design Thinking
Build real answers to real problems. Students start from a problem they can see, build something that works, and make it better after watching it fail.
Lessons: Design for Disaster Relief; Learn about Assistive Technology; Designing an Inclusive Playground; Design Stray Shelters; Designing Coastal Protection Strategies. 4 more in the Academy.

### Maths & Science
Visualise the world and abstract concepts. Mass, force, angles and energy stop being formulas once a student has to build the thing that proves them.
Lessons: Investigate Angles (Skyshot Catapult); Explore Earthquakes; Explore Magnetism (Fishing with Magnets); Investigate Biomimicry (Camouflage); Explore Bridges (Tension & Compression). 25 more in the Academy.

### Socioemotional Learning
Build together, fail together, try again. Every build is a group build, so students share the work, survive a collapse, and learn that the second try usually holds.
Lessons: Superhero Fashion Show; Designing an Inclusive Playground; Design Stray Shelters; Discovering your Passion; Investigate Senses (Silent Alarm). 5 more in the Academy.

### Robotics/Coding
From simple robots to mission-ready machines. Nothing to solder. A class builds a robot that moves in one period, then adds mechanisms, sensors and code.
Lessons: Design Battlebots; Design Explosive Disposal Robots; Block Coding; Build an AI Pose-Control Humanoid Robot. 38 more in the Academy.

### AI/Machine Learning
Demystify emerging technologies. Students train a real vision model and drive a robot with their own body, so AI is something they made, not something that happened to them.
Lessons: Build a Computer Vision Model; Build an AI Pose-Control Humanoid Robot; Training a Scissor Paper Stone Robot; Training an AI powered scarecrow; Training an Automated Trash Sorting Bin. 3 more in the Academy.

### Languages
Build it, then stand up and present it. Students build first, then pitch it, narrate it and write it up. A reluctant writer suddenly has something to say.
Lessons: Writing Procedural Texts for Robots; Learn about Dragon Boat Festivals; How to Elevator Pitch; How to Search for Information; How to Create a Pitch Deck. 2 more in the Academy.

### Arts & Humanities
Make history and culture something you can hold. A drawing machine, a Great Wall, a cultural symbol: students rebuild what they study and say why it was built that way.
Lessons: Explore Drawing Robots & Art; Design Geometric Lanterns (Lantern Festival); Build a Music Playing Robot; Explore the Great Wall; Exploring Landmarks in Southeast Asia. 6 more in the Academy.

### Futures Thinking
Design artifacts from the future. Recycling, farming, disaster relief. Students prototype the answers to problems that will be theirs to solve.
Lessons: Imagining Futuristic Cities; Imagining Life on Another Planet; Imagining Human Upgrades (Cybernetics); Imagining Jobs of the Future; Imagining Schools of The Future. 8 more in the Academy.
