Bring highly engaging, playful, and purposeful learning to life with The Ultimate Design and Build Studio Set, a complete hands-on lab for individual and small group learners with real world applications. Designed by a team of industry-leading pediatric, education, and occupational therapy experts, this all-in-one set includes everything needed for the Zoo Challenge offfering 10-15 hours of active learning plus access to an ever-growing library of additional projects.
Students explore architecture, life science, simple machines, and engineering design as they use 3DuxDesign materials to reimagine, redesign and build a model of the Zoo of the Future. This kit comes with the complete Zoo Challenge curriculum with educator guides, student booklets, and step-by-step video tutorials for five different animal habitats within a community zoo project.
The learning journey culminates with a capstone challenge where students put their design thinking and innovation skills to the test, working to plan, build, and present their own creative zoo exhibit that meets real world needs. Along the way, learners apply math, geometry, measurement, and financial literacy skills while integrating art, design, technology, and literacy through cross-curricular extensions using tools like Book Creator, ChatterPix, and Canva.
The experience is multimodal and flexible, meeting learners wherever they are in their development. Adaptable for diverse learners, from fine motor to executive functioning, career exploration to building communication skills, this project allows facilitators to nurture growth and inspire crativity in every student.
Families can even join the fun with the STEM Spy Game, a play-based activity that turns problem solving into an adventure in invention and innovation.
From design thinking to storytelling, this studio set empowers young innovators to imagine, build, and share their own world one project at a time.
