Yes, we would love to hear from you. Most partnerships start with a small pilot in a few schools. Tell us about your market, the schools you work with and how you would run teacher training. ### What exactly is in the kit? Bamboo chopsticks and 3D-printed connectors make the frame, and an electronic board with motors makes it move. No part arrives pre-shaped, so students work out the structure themselves. A Sensor Kit adds ultrasonic, light, temperature, humidity and gyroscope sensors and an LCD screen, and is bought separately. ### What does it cost? It depends on how many classes you are equipping, whether you add a teacher workshop, and whether you take Academy access. A Classroom Set covers up to 40 students and is 5 to 10 times cheaper than traditional STEAM kits. Tell us how many classes you have and we will send a quote in your school’s name. ### Can I have exclusivity in my market? Not at the start. We work non-exclusively, and most markets have more than one partner. You get exclusivity on the schools you sign, plus a head start in a new market, and we can talk about territory exclusivity as your volume grows. ### What is the difference between a Robotics Kit, a Classroom Set and a Sensor Kit? A Robotics Kit is one kit: connectors, chopsticks, a board and motors. A Classroom Set is 10 Robotics Kits in one box, for up to 40 students working in groups of 2 to 4. A Sensor Kit is an add-on, sold separately and not included in a Classroom Set. ### Can we try it before committing? Yes. Most schools start with a pilot: 1 or 2 Classroom Sets, Academy access for one cohort and a teacher workshop, run over a term. Ask us for a pilot quote sized to your school.

Yes, we would love to hear from you. Most partnerships start with a small pilot in a few schools. Tell us about your market, the schools you work with and how you would run teacher training. ### Can I have exclusivity in my market? Not at the start. We work non-exclusively, and most markets have more than one partner. You get exclusivity on the schools you sign, plus a head start in a new market, and we can talk about territory exclusivity as your volume grows. ### What are the commercial terms? Distributor pricing is banded by order size, with a better band in your first months while you get started. You set your own selling price, and we don’t publish ours so it never undercuts yours. Teacher training is yours to deliver and charge for. We share the exact bands on a call, since they depend on your market and volume. ### What do you expect a partner to do? Run the teacher training in your market. We train your trainers, give you the materials and support your first sessions, and after that the training is yours. ### Can we white-label it? We offer co-branding, so your name sits alongside ours on everything you bring to schools. The Stick ’Em name stays on the kit, because schools value that it is designed and made in Singapore. ### Can we get a sample kit? We don’t give out free sample kits, because we receive a huge number of requests to distribute Stick ’Em. You are very welcome to order a single kit from us to try it yourself. [See all 7 questions on terms](https://stickem.sg/faq/#partners) ## The kit What arrives, what it is made of, what a student can build, and what happens when a part breaks ### What exactly is in the kit? Bamboo chopsticks and 3D-printed connectors make the frame, and an electronic board with motors makes it move. No part arrives pre-shaped, so students work out the structure themselves. A Sensor Kit adds ultrasonic, light, temperature, humidity and gyroscope sensors and an LCD screen, and is bought separately. ### What is the difference between a Robotics Kit, a Classroom Set and a Sensor Kit? A Robotics Kit is one kit: connectors, chopsticks, a board and motors. A Classroom Set is 10 Robotics Kits in one box, for up to 40 students working in groups of 2 to 4. A Sensor Kit is an add-on, sold separately and not included in a Classroom Set. ### What can students build? Cars, cranes, cable cars, catapults, drawing machines, dragon boats, gliders, humanoid robots and more. One Classroom Set has enough chopsticks and connectors for hundreds of different builds, and everything else comes from the classroom: cardboard, string, bottles and tape. ### Does it need a screen, and does it need charging? Not for building. Chopsticks grip into the connectors by friction, with no glue, screws, batteries or apps. To make a build move, you need the board, a USB power bank and a device to control it from. ### What devices do we need in the classroom? Laptops or Chromebooks with Chrome or Edge, which connect to control.stickem.sg over Bluetooth. On iPads, download the Stick ’Em Control app from the App Store, because Safari does not support Web Bluetooth. Each group of 3 or 4 students only needs one device. ### Do students need to know how to code? No. Most classes start by driving their build from the control app. Block coding, and even vibe coding a web app, are there when a class is ready to go further, but neither is needed for a first lesson. [See all 9 questions on the kit](https://stickem.sg/faq/#product) ## Orders and delivery What it costs, trying it first, purchase orders and tenders, delivery, and what to do if something arrives broken ### What does it cost? It depends on how many classes you are equipping, whether you add a teacher workshop, and whether you take Academy access. A Classroom Set covers up to 40 students and is 5 to 10 times cheaper than traditional STEAM kits. Tell us how many classes you have and we will send a quote in your school’s name. ### Can we try it before committing? Yes. Most schools start with a pilot: 1 or 2 Classroom Sets, Academy access for one cohort and a teacher workshop, run over a term. Ask us for a pilot quote sized to your school. ### Do I have to subscribe to the Academy as well as buy the kit? No. The kits are a one-off purchase and the Academy is a yearly subscription, so a school can buy one without the other. Anyone can use the 20+ free lessons, and the full library and customised lessons come with a school subscription. The teacher workshop is priced separately. ### How do we raise a purchase order, and can you invoice our finance office? Yes. We send a dated quote, you raise a purchase order, and we invoice a few days before delivery. You pay once the goods arrive. Singapore government schools can use e-invoicing through Vendors@Gov, and we can split a quote into hardware, training and Academy for separate budget lines. ### Do we need to run a tender? That is up to your finance office. Stick ’Em Private Limited (UEN 202216916C) is the only distributor of Stick ’Em in Singapore, and we can provide a sole distributor declaration letter and a quote in your school’s name for whichever route your office chooses. ### Is there a discount for buying several sets? Yes. Multi-set and pilot bundles bring the cost per set down, and delivery within Singapore is often waived. We also look at charity and NGO requests case by case, so tell us how many classrooms and which term. [See all 9 questions on orders and delivery](https://stickem.sg/faq/#buying)
