From my classroom to yours.
I understand, first hand the challenges teachers face when introducing 3D drawing to students. Often they'll exclaim, "I can't draw!" but fear not, I designed a 3D drawing tool my students' loved! We called it a SPLAT. Now I am sharing these tools with you and your students K-12.

“WOOOOAHHHH ! It’s a cone!!” Best words of my career. A student who is blind was able to independently draw a 3D shape on texture paper and physically feel what it would “look” like. Julia England - New Jersey

Primary Teacher
I love anything that’s going to assist students in executing mathematical outcomes. I wouldn’t share anything that I didn’t try and love... This makes drawing in 3D objects so easy! Sarah @giftedandtalentedteacher Sydney
Benefits
-
Accessibility
Many of our students have learning needs or environmental factors that prevent them accessing the complex tools or digital products required for mastering isometric drawing. The Splat side steps many of these barriers. Giving kids everywhere an equitable opportunity to develop this critical skill set. Yep! No batteries required. Plus Splats are durable and completely recyclable!
-
Curriculum Aligned
- Our approach is explicit and simple.
- We have created a free online short course to get you started. This will help you understand how to implement Splats within your curriculum.
- Integrates the development of the 4C’s through hands-on engineering design projects.
-
Evidence Based Learning
- Visual-spatial ability is often cited as the number one predictor of long-term success in STEM across all fields.
- It is critical to the engineering design process and is optimally developed in the early-primary years.
- Students who master these skills are more likely to innovate products and services that will breakthrough limitations and help us find new pathways for change.
Our resources help students develop these skills.
-
Numeracy
Splats support students to visualise and mentally rotate 3D objects to develop fundamental spatial reasoning skills required for success in STEM.
-
Critical and Creative Thinking
Splats support students to imagine possibilities, connect ideas and generate design solutions within authentic contexts.
-
Visual Literacy
Splats supports students to understand how visual elements can create meaning, universal understanding and aid visual problem solving skills.
