Partners and distributors
Bring Stick ’Em to the schools you already reach.
We are in twenty-two countries and almost all of it is partner-led. If you already sell into schools, already run teacher training, or already have a STEAM programme that needs something affordable at its centre, there is a conversation here.
A partner deploymentWhy partners take it on
It sells into the schools that turn everything else down.
A price schools can say yes to
About a tenth of conventional classroom robotics. The objection you normally spend the meeting on does not come up, and the schools that were never a prospect become one.
One workshop and they are running
Three hours, and a teacher runs it alone. Your support burden after the sale is low by design, which is the difference between a product you can scale and one you cannot.
It comes back round
Chopsticks are consumable and get replaced roughly once a year. Academy subscriptions renew. A school that runs one term usually orders again for the next level.
Designed and made in Singapore
In most of our markets that is part of what the school is buying, which is also why we do not white-label it.
What a partnership involves
The one thing we will not compromise on.
You deliver the teacher training. We train your trainers, give you the workshop materials and the lesson library, and support your first sessions until they run without us.
We are strict about this for an unromantic reason: every partnership that skipped the training ended the same way. Kits arrive, nobody is confident enough to use them, the school never orders again, and the partner concludes the product does not work. The training is not an add-on service. It is the product.
What you bring
- A route into schools in your market
- People who can run a three-hour hands-on workshop, or who are willing to learn
- Local pricing, invoicing and delivery
- Honest reporting on which schools are actually using it
What we bring
- Train-the-trainer, materials and first-session support
- The Academy lesson library, and mapping to your national curriculum
- Sample kits for serious conversations
- A named person here, not a ticket queue
Straight answers
The three questions every partner asks in the first call.
Can we have exclusivity in our country?
Not at the start, and we would rather tell you now than three calls in. We work non-exclusively and in most markets more than one partner operates. What we do give is account-level exclusivity, so the schools you sign are yours and stay yours, plus a genuine head start in a new market. Exclusivity is a conversation once a partner is operating at real scale, and it has a volume number attached to it.
Can we white-label it?
No. Co-branding, gladly. Stick ’Em being designed and made in Singapore is part of what a school in your market is buying, and taking the name off removes the reason they said yes.
How does pricing work?
Distributor pricing runs in bands by order size, with a better band for your first few months so a new partner is not punished for starting carefully. You set your own selling price in your market: we do not publish one, because a published price undercuts you. The specifics belong in a conversation, because they depend on territory, volume and how much of the delivery you are taking on.
How it starts
A pilot first, almost always.
Tell us about your market
Which country, how many schools you reach today, and who would run the training. That last one is the answer we read first.
A sample kit and a call
You build one yourself. Everybody who has taken this on has built one first, and it is the point at which the conversation either gets serious or quietly stops.
A small pilot
A handful of schools, one training session, one term. Both sides find out what is true.
Territory and volume
Once schools are running and reordering, we talk about scale, bands and what a head start looks like.
Already running
Who is doing this today
Partners, ministries and institutions across twenty-two countries. Almost none of this was built by us being in the room.

What happens in the room
Teachers in partner markets, after their first session
“This workshop was unbelievably cool. You get to think creatively, and it is fun.”
“Mind blowing materials that make students more creative and develop their 21st century skills.”
“Stick ’Em is interesting and amazing. It promotes creativity and critical thinking, motivates students to learn more, and makes the lesson fun and engaging.”
“You never know the beauty of Stick ’Em until you try it.”
“For our STEAM curriculum, it will be very good in helping students to build the prototypes that they have been dreaming of.”
“I encourage educators to join the workshop because the activity can be integrated to class activities in a fun way.”
“It will open your mind and give more inspiration on what you can add into your lessons.”
“The Junior High School teachers can best utilize this tool and integrate it in their lessons. This would foster creativity and critical thinking skills among the students.”
Questions partners ask
For partners and distributors
The kit
Tell us about your market.
Which country, how many schools you already work with, and who would deliver the teacher training. Those three answers are enough for us to come back with something real.
