- [Peter Wardrip](https://crexo.com/brands/strawbees/resources/disruptors/peter-wardrip/): Designing a Meaningful STEM Makerspace As an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin and a makerspace veteran, Peter Wardrip uses Strawbees to empower educators and learners alike. With its low barrier to entry and high ceiling for creativity, Strawbees fits seamlessly into drop-in makerspaces, professional development sessions, and intergenerational learning environments—helping educators center the learner experience without needing expensive or complex tools. Background After 12 years of working in education including in the Make Shop at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and is now focusing on teaching college students about maker spaces and how to design professional learning experiences. After encountering Strawbees in 2019 during a meeting of researchers and maker educators, Strawbees was used to engage participants in hands-on activities. Although it can be scaled up, Peter immediately appreciated how easy it was for educators he worked with to immediately embrace the product. “Straws are a familiar material that people feel comfortable constructing with. Even though it can take a lot of practice to be able to make a creation that fulfills a particular vision somebody has.” Implementation One of the biggest benefits and also challenges that Peter has with makerspaces is that it is a drop in experience. In some ways, this allows educators to showcase a lot of different types of educational opportunities, but in others, it has to be something that speaks for itself. “It has to be differentiated and be equally engaging for a 3 year-old and an 8 year-old, somebody who’s done the activity before and someone who’s never done the activity. Strawbees are the type of material and tool that lends itself really well to that because it can be guided by a particular prompt.” Rather than curriculum standing in the way, Peter finds that teachers need the opportunity to play with and be hands-on with materials as it gives them the chance to get ideas by working with the materials. Furthermore, Peter saw the value as a makerspace creator in the reusability. “Something like a 3D printer doesn’t scale well. There’s the waiting time of printing something up and some of the more heavy duty equipment doesn’t put the learner in the center of the experience. With Strawbees, the learner is the center of the experience and they can create what they want to create.” Outcomes After doing a lot of professional development with Strawbees and community facilitated discussions with educators, Peter finds it useful to ask educators to construct a representation of something with Strawbees. Using concepts like “belonging” or “curiosity” helps teachers build something relatively quickly and it unlocks so much more. “When you construct a representation of an assessment, for example, it sounds crazy but it allows assumptions that people have about assessments to be surfaced and made visual. Then we can talk about it and negotiate with it.” When implementing a different activity like sewing, Peter finds that because some people can be more experienced with it than others, it can create some anxiety for some people who have never done it before and worried about being compared to the experts in the room, but Strawbees flattens out the expertise field because what people create is not perfect, but can be improved upon. And the responses he usually gets from teachers come in two flavors: “This is amazing” and “Why haven’t I seen this before?” “I can’t even think of a time where somebody complained about it or anything like that. They always say it’s amazing. I love to see that when somebody’s new to Strawbees they lay out all of the connectors and they’re exploring what the potential is before they even try to construct something.” Supporting teacher’s real obstacles with time constraints is also something that Peter appreciates. After meeting with a teacher that only has students for 30 minutes once every eight days, they have to decide whether they want to build a one off lesson for the short amount of time or do something over the span of several weeks that students may not understand. “I think Strawbees lends itself to a short amount of time for engagement. It’s hard to put students in the driver’s seat with big equipment because they might not know how to use it. That takes some extra instructional time which they can do but it is extra.” The benefit Peter has with maker spaces is that he can design activities that fulfill values that he has such as creativity, collaboration, troubleshooting and problem solving. Supporting students or learners to engage in those values with a host of materials is usually part of his goal in building a space. “Maybe this is a bias of mine, but I think too often digitally based tools involve having to learn the tool itself as part of the tasks. Materials like Strawbees don’t confuse the educator or the learner. Making something on a 3D printer involves learning how to string up the filament and when there’s such an emphasis on tools, the design kind of gets lost.” Maker spaces also allow for intergenerational learning which is a gold standard, especially in museums, between caregivers, grandparents and children. Because of Strawbee’s low threshold of adoption, it doesn’t remind other generations of negative school experiences. When he’s seen generations engage with activities like circuit blocks and boards, caregivers might think they need experience with wiring and might feel disengaged. “Strawbees doesn’t have stereotypes associated with it of what is good and bad like with particular memories from school. I think something like Strawbees works because straws are both familiar and novel. It creates an opportunity for caregivers and children to work together which I think is cool.” Making Effective Makerspaces #STRAWBEESDISRUPTOR 🎓 Strawbees.

- [Andrea Fellows](https://crexo.com/brands/strawbees/resources/disruptors/andrea-fellows/): Making STEM Accessiblefor Every Learner Andrea Fellows, a special education STEM teacher in Lancaster, PA, uses Strawbees to unlock creativity and confidence in students who typically struggle in traditional classrooms. From continent-wide cultural studies to solar-powered prototypes, Andrea proves that hands-on STEM can engage even the most reluctant learners—and give every student a chance to shine. Background Many people might assume that STEM is only for advanced learners or people who are keen on mathematics and sciences. Andrea's experience as a special education teacher is quite the opposite. "I love using STEM in my classroom with my students because all of many of my students are very reluctant learners. Traditional academics often do not work for them but with STEM and hands-on learning, they are far more engaged and are able to demonstrate their learning much better!" Andrea has spent three years as a STEM teacher within a special education program and previously taught for 7 years in a high school class in the same program. She brought Strawbees into her class in 2019. In her experience, hands-on and project based learning engages students in special education contexts and is a great way to boost their academics. Implementation Andrea's school provides many special education programs including center-based special education programs. A center-based special education program is a specialized educational setting that provides tailored instruction and support to students with disabilities, often those with more significant needs than can be met in a general education classroom. Andrea works across six different programs including autistic support, emotional support, and school to work programs covering ages from kindergarten all the way up to 21 years old. "I began working with Strawbees and specifically my course was a Strawbees Lab extension with micro:bit. I've used pre-made lessons in Strawbee's classroom and built lessons around them." Andrea has focused lessons around a variety of subject matters including animals and the famous Strawbees crane and earthquakes. While Strawbees works well within maths and science, Andrea has implemented Strawbees in a full cultural studies unit where her students learned about every country in Africa, Asia and Europe. "With each country, we did either an art activity, a cooking activity or a STEM challenge. To end our Africa continent module, students chose a country each and did a study on it and then used Strawbees to build a solution for a challenge related to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals that the country was facing." With the help of School Partnerships Manager Rasmus Carlsson, Andrea was able to integrate lessons on solar power from Strawbees Classroom and many students chose to integrate solar power into their country's solution. "One of my students wanted to have a solar panel that would follow and track the sunlight so that it could continue to gather as much sunlight as possible so that it could power a hospital. I had a student make a toilet out of Strawbees that could collect the rainwater and it was like a self-flushing toilet. He loved it." Another student who uses a communication device to communicate built sneakers out of Strawbees and used it to explain that because he felt the people in his country were not healthy, creating sneakers could help them exercise. Even students who have trouble with fine motor skills can still access Strawbees with the help of a personal care assistant or a partner, especially since the different colors of straws allow for them to identify and work with the straws based on their color. Outcomes With her students that struggle to write independently or are extremely reluctant to write, Andrea has found that when they can be creative and show what they know, it opens up doors for them that aren't accessed through traditional academics. "They just really like being able to be creative. A lot of them love creating and then filming their creation and showing me how it works. They are able to explain the mechanics behind it or what their idea was." Seeing around 26 classes a week, Andrea utilizes a lot of recycled materials and sometimes feels a little bit sad at not being able to keep all of the student's creations. With Strawbees, it's something that is less bulky and therefore easier to keep around and use them to continue to iterate. "With the Strawbees, I have a limited number of kits but it's very easy to keep their creations over time and allow them to continue to build on over a week or two weeks." Andrea has even been able to implement some of the lessons with her 12 graders, improving upon things like the earthquake shake table, even when the original lesson seemed a little intimidating and helped them improve their teamwork skills. "They problem-solved through some really big challenges and worked together. I think they made some improvements which made it shake more effectively. I was really proud of them getting through some of the frustration of 'I can't tell what this is wanting me to do.' That was really awesome to see them use some of that teamwork." Going forward, Andrea wants to utilize more coding and micro:bits so that she can implement coding in later lessons after introducing students to the basics of Strawbees. She has created blog posts and internal professional development trainings to teach others in the IU about Strawbees and is always happy to lend her kits to other classrooms when they're interested in integrating it into their lessons. "I introduced Strawbees immediately after getting training in it and they really enjoyed it. They like the colors and it's also something that allowed all of my students to participate. I'll definitely continue working with Strawbees in the future." How Andrea Implements STEM #STRAWBEESDISRUPTOR 🎓 Strawbees.
