Engineering education doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. With Blueprint Snap Engineering Kits, primary teachers across Australia are bringing authentic STEAM learning experiences to their classrooms—no screens, batteries, or technical expertise required.
If you're looking for a resource that genuinely engages students while developing critical 21st-century skills, Blueprint Snap delivers. Here's why educators are making it a cornerstone of their STEAM programmes.
What Makes Blueprint Snap Different?
Blueprint Snap is a colour-coded, snap-together building system that allows students to design and construct functional models including bridges, towers, machines, and moving structures. With over 280 components per kit—including beams, trusses, gears, pulleys, and connectors—learners can quickly assemble and modify designs without tools, batteries, or screens.
The beauty lies in its simplicity: students spend less time figuring out how parts connect and more time focusing on engineering principles, design thinking, and experimentation.
5 Main Features and Benefits
1. Screen-Free Learning That Balances Digital Education
In an increasingly digital world, Blueprint Snap provides essential tactile, hands-on experiences. Students manipulate physical components, test real-world forces, and see immediate results from their design choices. This kinaesthetic approach complements screen-based learning and helps develop spatial reasoning skills that can't be taught through digital means alone.
Benefit: Students develop deeper understanding through multi-sensory engagement while giving their eyes and minds a break from screens.
2. Curriculum-Aligned with Comprehensive Educator Support
Every Blueprint Snap kit comes with 15 challenge cards, educator guides, quick start materials, and digital units and lessons. The content aligns with Australian STEAM curriculum outcomes and supports learning objectives across multiple year levels (grades 3-5).
Benefit: Teachers can implement engaging STEAM lessons immediately without spending hours on preparation or curriculum mapping.
3. Rapid Prototyping Builds Resilience and Design Thinking
Students can complete working models in under an hour, allowing them to follow the full design cycle—plan, build, test, and refine—within a single lesson. The frustration-free snap system means ideas can be tested quickly, encouraging iteration and learning from failure.
Benefit: Students develop resilience, critical thinking, and authentic problem-solving skills as they embrace the engineering mindset of continuous improvement.
4. Natural Collaboration and Communication Development
Designed for pairs or small groups, Blueprint Snap creates opportunities for students to share ideas, negotiate design choices, and work towards shared goals. The collaborative nature of building together develops essential social and communication skills.
Benefit: Students practise teamwork, active listening, and respectful disagreement—skills that extend far beyond STEAM subjects.
5. Durable, Reusable, and Easy to Manage
- Built for classroom environments, Blueprint Snap components are robust enough for repeated use across multiple year groups. Each kit includes storage bins for easy organisation, and the colour-coded system makes pack-up simple, even for younger students.
Benefit: Your investment pays dividends year after year with materials that maintain quality and a system that saves valuable classroom time.
