Last time @ STEAMology: Engineering with STRAWBEES!



 
Wait...What are STRAWBEES?

STRAWBEES are colorful, key-shaped bits of recycled plastic designed to link straws together to create three-dimensional structures. Each piece has a notched flat end, which you can insert into a quarter-inch plastic straw, and a circular head, which acts as a connector and pivot point for multiple straws and pieces.
