KEVA Products | PreK-12 Books & Hands-on Learning | Free Resources & PDF Tool

KEVA Planks are a simple yet innovative tool. Every plank is the same size and shape. There is no glue to use, nor are there connectors. Students are free to create original works of art, architectural structures like homes and towers, or even deftly designed Rube Goldberg-type ball-runs. The size of each plank makes them safe for students as young as preschool age, while their adaptability and versatility ignite the playfulness in older students and adults alike. When you add KEVA Planks to your Makerspaces and hands-on learning activities, brings many benefits to young learners and older students alike, including:

• Encouraging Creativity and Innovation: KEVA Planks provide open-ended building opportunities for students, with instructions or predefined constraints, helping students use their creativity and imagination when designing and constructing structures, designs, and patterns.
• Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills: Constructing with KEVA Planks involves understanding balance, stability, and spatial relationships, which enhances critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
• Promotes STEM Learning: Creating basic structures like bridges and towers helps them to learn about concepts such as gravity, structural integrity, and load distribution. These activities also teach them basic mathematic principles like symmetry, proportions, and geometry.
• Enhances Fine Motor Skills: Developing motor skills and hand-eye coordination is crucial for young students. Manipulating small planks into intricate structures is a fun and engaging way.
