STEAM Accelerator: Expanded Building Collection

Expanded STEAM Engineering and Design Collection

This expanded Lux Blox STEAM Accelerator collection includes 720 building pieces and accessories for sustained exploration of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Its extensive assortment of squares, trigons, wheels, axles, and rubber bands gives learners the materials needed to progress from introductory structures to larger mechanical models, detailed architectural forms, geometric constructions, and original inventions.

Learning Objectives

• Apply the engineering design process through planning, building, testing, and revising
• Explore structural stability, balance, flexibility, and load distribution
• Investigate wheels, axles, rotational movement, tension, and motion
• Apply measurement, geometry, patterns, and spatial reasoning during construction
• Develop critical thinking, creativity, persistence, and project planning skills

What Is Included

• 720 Lux Blox pieces and accessories
• 400 squares in four coordinated colors
• 200 trigons, including 100 black and 100 white pieces
• 20 large multi wheels
• 20 small multi wheels
• 20 large axles
• 20 medium axles
• 20 small axles
• 20 seven inch rubber bands

Educational Benefits

The high piece count supports long term, progressively challenging learning. Learners can keep completed models intact while using the remaining components for new investigations, compare different structural solutions, and revisit engineering concepts through increasingly complex builds. The broad variety of components makes this a comprehensive choice for homeschool STEM study, independent projects, enrichment, and open ended design exploration.
