The Boxitects Activity Kit blends early literacy, STEM, engineering design, creativity, and collaboration as young designers imagine, build, test, and invent something truly spectacular.
Created through a collaboration between 3DuxDesign, New York Times bestselling author Kim Smith, and Storytime STEM-Packs, this hands-on kit brings the beloved story Boxitects to life through cardboard construction and creative problem solving.
Kim Smith’s book Boxitects is the perfect match for the 3DuxDesign Architectural Modeling System. In the story, Meg and Simone discover that great engineering is built on creativity, innovation, trial and error, and teamwork. With this activity kit, children become boxitects too as they follow the story, explore basic engineering concepts, and use 3DuxDesign materials to design and build their own structures.
Then the challenge grows: young innovators are invited to think beyond the box as they reimagine the future of living and transportation. By combining two ideas into one brand-new invention, children practice design thinking, problem solving, and collaboration while creating something completely original.
Perfect for early elementary classrooms, libraries, makerspaces, homeschool, STEM programs, and creative play at home, the Boxitects Activity Kit turns storytime into an unforgettable hands-on STEM adventure.
