We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Strawbees is now part of the BirdBrain Technologies family!
If you’re a fan of hands-on, creative STEM learning (and we know you are!), this is a big win for educators, students, and makers everywhere. BirdBrain Technologies has officially acquired key assets of Strawbees, the beloved modular building system that turns imagination into engineering magic.
Why This Matters
At BirdBrain, we’re all about sparking curiosity and creativity through robotics, coding, and engineering. Strawbees fits right in with that mission. Their open-ended building kits and curriculum empower learners of all ages to explore, invent, and problem-solve — just like our Finch Robot and Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit.
By bringing Strawbees into our lineup, we’re expanding what’s possible in your classroom, makerspace, or after-school program. Think more hands-on projects, more opportunities for collaboration, and more joyful learning.
A Perfect Match
“Strawbees’ creative and engaging approach to STEM education aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Timm Boettcher, CEO of RW Thrive, our parent company. “Together, we’re making it easier than ever for educators to deliver meaningful, project-based learning experiences.”
We couldn’t agree more. This partnership means more tools, more support, and more inspiration for educators and students around the world.
What’s Next?
We’re committed to keeping the spirit of Strawbees alive and thriving. That means continuing to offer the same innovative products you love — now with the added support and resources of the BirdBrain team.
