Create Action-Packed Animations

Stick Nodes makes animation approachable while still producing impressive results. Students create battles, sports scenes, adventures, comedy sketches, and action sequences that look surprisingly professional.

Create Your Own Characters

One of the most exciting parts of Stick Nodes is building your own cast of characters. Students learn how to customize stick figures, design unique heroes and villains, and give each character their own personality, weapons, powers, and style.

Explore a Huge Community Library

You don't have to create everything from scratch. Learn how to safely download free characters, props, vehicles, effects, and backgrounds from the Stick Nodes community library. Students will discover how other animators build their projects while expanding their own creative toolkit.
